Check if it indeed an rpm: rpm -qa|grep -i mysql (inludes dev etc) then remove all those with rpm -e mysql-3.23.58-4 mysql-server-3.23.58-4 ... If you just want to upgrade, unless mysql is fussy, rpm -Fvh mysql-4xxx.rpm mysql-server-4xxx .... You may have some dependencies depending on what all is installed, so you'll probably have a handful of packages to remove or upgrade. HAve a look at the man page for rpm, it does lots of tricks:-) -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
