You seem to have the rpmforge repository installed, because the package

MySQL).
and got replaced because the default install of yum-priorities doesn't
check_obsoletes. base package perl-DBD-MySQL was indeed obsoleted by the
rpmforge perl-DBD-mysql a few weeks ago. I fear a lot of people got caught
by this without guard. I wonder why rpmforge did this.
We did not do anything. It is a bug in the priorities plugin.
The reason we have a perl-DBD-mysql is because that is the upstream name
and the naming convention dictates to use the upstream name. That is the
only reliable way for not having RPM clashes.
Maybe someone should report to Red Hat that perl-DBD-MySQL has a packaging
bug ?
