One more thing, devel does install correctly without any problems.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.mysql.com/documentation/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.mysql.com/how-to-report.php Additional info: RPM only seeks for dependaincies in it's database. Installing Perl modules without without is call for trouble. It's not MySQL packagers fault that you decided to not use: rpm -Uvh perl-DBD-MySQL*.rpm

Installing the 32 bit version doesn't require me to install Perl DBD::mysql. I know I have about 10 machines running 32 bit linux and I only use RPM's to install everything on them. Only the 64 bit version of the RPM has a dependency issue with perl. I was setuping 2 brand new boxes, one 64 bit one 32 bit. Downloaded both versions and installed them on the machines. Both running same OS one 32 bit one 64 bit version of fedora core 2. Both I installed with rpm -i the 32 bit version installed fine the 64 bit did not. I could have just added --nodeps, but that's not a perfect solution. mysql 64 bit like the 32 bit should not require that perl dbd::mysql be installed. That's all I am saying. I ended up installing from source anyway because Peter Zaitsev said that the RPM's are built against SUSE and he said any red hat based system has problems with the 64 bit RPMs that mysql builds.

The 4.1.4 IA64 and AMD64 RPM packages were built on Red Hat AS 3 - the version of RPM included in this OS has added many additional dependency checks, especially for all kinds of Perl modules. Chances are high that these required modules are already installed on your system, but under a different name. So it's pretty safe to use "--nodeps" in this case - DBI-perl is only required for certain supplementary scripts that are part of the package. I will resolve this a "not a bug" - there is not much we can do about this (it's up to the Linux distributors to finally unify these package names)

Thankyou Lenz for a decent explanation. It helped me a lot.
Description: We just got a new server in today, and tried to install 4.1.4 via RPM and this is what we get. [root@parking-master src]# rpm -i MySQL-client-4.1.4-0.glibc23.x86_64.rpm warning: MySQL-client-4.1.4-0.glibc23.x86_64.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5 error: Failed dependencies: perl(DBI) is needed by MySQL-client-4.1.4-0.glibc23 [root@parking-master src]# rpm -i MySQL-server-4.1.4-0.glibc23.x86_64.rpm warning: MySQL-server-4.1.4-0.glibc23.x86_64.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5 error: Failed dependencies: perl(DBI) is needed by MySQL-server-4.1.4-0.glibc23 So I went and installed DBI via CPAN and DBD::mysql and tried to reinstall it again, and still the same problem. Any ideas? Donny How to repeat: Install the 64 bit RPM. Suggested fix: Either have a work around for getting the depencies working, or remove the whole perl(DBI) problem all together. Since mysql shouldn't require perl DBI.
