Description:
The RPM packages do not provide a lower case version of what they provide. Many packages depend on 'mysql-server' to be installed and not 'MySQL-server'.

Bug #57596 describes the same problem and should be fixed, although the current RPM's do now contain a lower case version. 

How to repeat:

rpm -qp --provides MySQL-client-5.6.12-2.el6.x86_64.rpm

Suggested fix:
Add lower case provides in the RPM spec file 'Provides' tag

Also applicable in 5.6.13-1

Noted in 5.5.34, 5.6.13, 5.7.3 changelogs.

RPM packages did not provide lowercase tags for their contents. For
example, a server RPM indicated that it provided MySQL-server, but
not mysql-server.
