Summary     : MySQL shared client libraries for MySQL 5.0.85-0, 4.1.22-0, 4.0.30-0, 3.23.58-1
Description :
This package includes the shared libraries for MySQL %{version3},
MySQL %{version40}, %{version41}, %{version50} as well as MySQL %{version51}.
Install this package instead of "MySQL-shared", if you have applications
installed that are dynamically linked against older versions of the MySQL
client library but you want to upgrade to MySQL 5.0.85 without breaking the
library dependencies.

How to repeat:
Install 5.0.86 shared-compat/try to upgrade from 5.0.85

Suggested fix:
Rebuild the package with libmysql versions 1.5

Thank you for the report.

These files are in shared-enterprise*, shared-community* and shared-classic* RPMs now.

Please ignore previous status.

Verified as described.

Verified for the "shared-compat" RPMs of all configurations on all platforms.

I cannot tell what caused this, the scripts are ok, and on re-running produce the desired result.
I can just guess it was some timing/handling issue in the original run.

I expect to provide correct RPMs tomorrow, but can't predict how fast they will become available on the mirrors.

For now, the workaround is to use the "shared-compat" RPMs of 5.0.85.

Thanks for the quick turn-around, guys.  I'll try to see if I can get the updates tomorrow morning.  Seems like it would be related to the referenced bug for the 5.0.84 (Bug 46545)?

All "shared-compat" RPMs have been rebuilt,
and I have checked their contents: looks ok now.

The new ones are named
   MySQL-shared-compat*-5.0.86-1.*.rpm
so they can be recognized from the RPM release number "-1".

The new RPMs have been made available in the stage areas, and the old ones been removed. However, mirror propagation has been slow lately, so I won't make any guesses how fast the new ones will be available on the download mirrors (and how fast the old, broken ones will disappear).

We are sorry for the inconvenience!
