Could the atomic 5.5.x MySQL packages (for CentOS 5.x, 6.x, etc.) be updated to 5.5.46 (appears to be some CVEs associated with the release)?

Thanks.

I'm getting some conflicts on this update between the x86_64 and i386 versions of the mysql files. I've been doing the recommended yum updates for over a year and this is the first time I've had this problem - I haven't intentionally done anything to change the mysql install, so just wondering if anyone has some insights on why the problem this time? All other art repo updates have been installed as they appeared.

Looks like youve got a mix of 32 and 64 bit packages on the system

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the reply - yes, I agree it looks like there is a mix of 32 and 64 bit.

I'm trying to figure out how that happened since to my recollection I've only done the recommended yum updates and this is the first time a mysql update failed.

I did some Google searching and it sounds like unwinding this is a "manual process" without much guidance. Since it's a working production server I really don't want to mess it up.

I'll keep looking, but if anyone knows of a how-to on cleaning this up, I'd appreciate a pointer.

Thanks,
Rowland

I had the same exact list of errors, and stumbled on an easy solution: `yum upgrade mysql` instead of yum update. It worked error-free, upgrading from 5.5.44 to 5.5.46; I also did `yum erase mysql.i386` just before, but I'm not sure that's necessary, since the 'upgrade' command reinstalled that part of the package, saying, "Installing for dependencies."

No idea why "upgrade" should work for a minor update; nor how to report errors like this to the repository.
