Description:
The MySQL-shared-compat-advanced-5.1.58-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm RPM file is missing the older versions of libmysqlclient.so.  As a result, any code that is linked against those older versions are failing.  As an example, I was using the nagios-plugins provided in RHEL 5, and the check_mysql plugin no longer works because it is looking for libmysqlclient.so.15.  

How to repeat:
You can verify this quickly by examining the contents of the RPM files.  

Here are the contents of MySQL-shared-compat-advanced-5.1.57-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm:

rpm -qlp MySQL-shared-compat-advanced-5.1.57-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

I downloaded the entire 5.1.58 MySQL Advanced Server package through My Oracle Support:

Verified just as described. Same problem with MySQL-shared-compat-enterprise-5.1.58-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm I've downloaded from "Patches & Updates" section.

Fix understood in internal tools, will be fixed in 5.1.59. 

Will keep this bug open until 5.1.59 bits are generated and verified to contain the missing libraries.

Thanks,
Hery

Verified as fixed in 5.1.68.
