Description:
The latest 5.6.11 MySQL-server RPM provides 'mysql'.  This should just be provided by the MySQL-client package, but in 5.6.11 it is provided by both.

How to repeat:
rpm -qp --provides MySQL-server-5.6.11-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

Suggested fix:
remove the provides that was added to 5.6.11 - this is not broken in 5.6.10.
