Can you please provide the output of "rpm -q --whatprovides libmysqlclient.so.14" ?

$ rpm -q --whatprovides libmysqlclient.so.14 mysql-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1

It's the same old story, Red Hat puts the shared libraries into the same package as the client applications instead of separing these into a "mysql-shared" and "mysql-client" subpackage. As you are trying to update to MySQL 5.0, this would break the shared library dependencies of the installed applications that were linked against the default MySQL 4.1 from Red Hat (as your package would update the installed "mysql" RPM to a newer version, thus updating to newer version of the shared libs, too). To work around this, we provide the "shared-compat" RPM, that you can get from the Downloads section. It contains the 4.1 shared libraries as well, which will fulfil this dependency.

When using the generic shared-compat RPM rather than the shared-standard as suggested by Lenz, the upgrade works. However.... no mysql user/group exist. Had to do rpm -e on the server RPM and then rpm -i again. Then the user/group were created and the server started correctly. This would indicate a post-installation script failing to do its job?

This is a bug in the Red Hat MySQL RPMs I think. The way upgrades work is described at the end of the page http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-upgrade-nearly-identical.html After our pre/post install scripts are run, the pre/post deinstall scripts of the Red Hat package will be run. And the Red Hat postuninstall script does a "userdel mysql". But reading the RPM documentation the upgrade behaviour puzzles me a bit too. In the Red Hat RPM the postdeinstall will remove the rc.d/* scripts as well. I don't understand how updates between their own MySQL releases could work with this deinstall script. % rpm --scripts -qp mysql-server-4.1.16-1.FC4.1.i386.rpm warning: mysql-server-4.1.16-1.FC4.1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 preinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /usr/sbin/useradd -M -o -r -d /var/lib/mysql -s /bin/bash \ -c "MySQL Server" -u 27 mysql > /dev/null 2>&1 || : postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ $1 = 1 ]; then /sbin/chkconfig --add mysqld fi /bin/chmod 0755 /var/lib/mysql /bin/touch /var/log/mysqld.log preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ $1 = 0 ]; then /sbin/chkconfig --del mysqld fi postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ $1 -ge 1 ]; then /sbin/service mysqld condrestart >/dev/null 2>&1 || : fi if [ $1 = 0 ] ; then userdel mysql >/dev/null 2>&1 || : fi

Ok should this should be chased up with Red Hat really. Something for the future.

I have just gone through this same situation, so i thought i would post what I did to get it to work: Don't download the shared-standard file, or rename it so it does not install when the others do... Then rename /etc/init.d/mysql and /etc/my.cnf Then the install will work. If you have already tried and now it is all messed up use: rpm -ivh --force --replacefiles MySQL-* in the directory you have all the rpm files. it will need to put them all in at once, except teh shared standard. i guess ver 5 puts things in different locations, so you have to remove/rename those files so they will get the new versions. rpms will not override config files by design. This was done on redhat ES 4 to mySQL 5, hope it helps...

I am trying to upgrade mysql to 5.0 and am getting this error message # rpm -Uvh MySQL*.rpm warning: MySQL-client-community-5.0.37-0.rhel4.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5 error: Failed dependencies: perl(HTML::Template) is needed by MySQL-clustertools-community-5.0.37-0.rhel4.i386 Is there any specific order I should install the rpms ? How do I resolve this error ? Thank You

I get the same error as reported by "LOUIS SELVON" when installing the MySQL cluster tool rpm on my Redhat EL4: # rpm -Uvh MySQL-clustertools-community-5.0.45-0.rhel4.i386.rpm warning: MySQL-clustertools-community-5.0.45-0.rhel4.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5 error: Failed dependencies: perl(HTML::Template) is needed by MySQL-clustertools-community-5.0.45-0.rhel4.i386 I wonder if any one has found the solution to this problem?
