Description:
I found a document bug in following document.

 2.5.5 Installing MySQL on Linux Using RPM Packages
 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/linux-installation-rpm.html

Name of RPM packages in above document is wrong.

How to repeat:
Uncompress rpm-bundle like this.

------------------------------------------------------------
[root@yyamasaki ~]# tar xvf ./mysql-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar
mysql-community-common-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-server-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-embedded-devel-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-embedded-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-test-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-client-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-libs-compat-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-devel-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-libs-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
[root@yyamasaki ~]#
------------------------------------------------------------

Suggested fix:
Modify package name. And if needed, modify description depend on package of MySQL 5.7.x.

Especially, I think there is big problem about "MySQL-shared-compat-VERSION.linux_glibc2.5.i386.rpm". RPM package of MySQL 5.7.9 doesn't have MySQL-shared-compat. Therefore, many user will face library conflict on Red Hat compatible OS.

I think it was replaced mysql-community-libs-compat. I could install MySQL 5.7.9 on CentOS 6.4 with following procedure without library conflict.

------------------------------------------------------------
shell> rpm -Uvh mysql-community-libs-compat-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mysql-community-libs-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mysql-community-common-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
shell> rpm -ivh mysql-community-server-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mysql-community-client-5.7.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
shell> service mysqld start
shell> service mysqld stop

The section of the manual has been updated with the new package names, and with descriptions on how the new packages work. The updates will be visible in the next build of the manual.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your prompt correspondence! I'll check the manual another day.
