Description:
When installing the rpm release by this command line : 
rpm -i MySQL-server-4.0.17-0.i386.rpm
This message appears :

file /etc/init.d/mysql from install of MySQL-server-4.0.17-0 conflicts with file from package MySQL-3.23.56-1

Message appears with each file in the rpm.

This kind of message is not listed in mySql 5.0 manual.

How to repeat:
By typing this command :
rpm -i MySQL-server-4.0.17-0.i386.rpm

Suggested fix:
If it is not a bug but just an operation that should be done before running the rpm, update the documpentation.

This is not a bug with MySQL, but rather an RPM usage issue.  Presumably you have an older package installed and need to upgrade (or uninstall the old one first) rather than install.  Check the RPM documentation.
