How to repeat:
$ sudo dnf localinstall mysql-community-client-8.4.0-10.fc40.x86_64.rpm mysql-community-common-8.4.0-10.fc40.x86_64.rpm mysql-community-devel-8.4.0-10.fc40.x86_64.rpm mysql-community-libs-8.4.0-10.fc40.x86_64.rpm mysql-community-icu-data-files-8.4.0-10.fc40.x86_64.rpm mysql-community-server-8.4.0-10.fc40.x86_64.rpm mysql-community-client-plugins-8.4.0-10.fc40.x86_64.rpm

Error: 
 Problem: problem with installed package mysql-errmsg-8.0.36-3.fc40.noarch
  - package mysql-errmsg-8.0.36-3.fc40.noarch from @System requires mysql-common = 8.0.36-3.fc40, but none of the providers can be installed

  - conflicting requests
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Suggested fix:
Have mysql-community-common or some other package obsolete mysql-errmsg

Hi Mr. van Eeden,

Thank you very much for your bug report.

We have tried to install in the order that you described and got the same error.

Verified as reported.

Hi,

thanks for your report!

This is most likely due to:

 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F40_MariaDB_MySQL_repackaging

it will affect MySQL 8.0.x too.

Thank you, Terje ......

This was fixed for 8.4.0 during a re-release a week later, for example mysql-community-server-8.4.0-10.fc40.x86_64.rpm versus mysql-community-server-8.4.0-11.fc40.x86_64.rpm

Thank you, Philip.
