Centos 5, mysql-libs conflict on yum update...

[benji]

Hi,

My server is Centos 5, i386 architecture.

I just tried to update my server and i found the following:

Code: Select all

[root@v2 ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * atomic: www5.atomicorp.com
 * base: mirror.ovh.net

Error: Missing Dependency: mysql-libs = 5.0.83-1.el5.art is needed by package mysql-5.0.83-1.el5.art.x86_64 (installed)
[root@v2 ~]# 

I tried several times: yum clean all, and trying again yum update with no luck, also tried rpm --rebuilddb, with no luck either.
I checked out the package mysql-libs to se what is installed on my system:

Code: Select all

[root@v2 ~]# rpm -q mysql-libs
mysql-libs-5.0.83-1.el5.art
mysql-libs-5.0.84-1.el5.art
[root@v2 ~]# 

It seems like i have two versions at the same time of mysql-libs version, how cold that happend?!, how do i solve this situation? I can't just uninstall mysql-libs, since it will remove all dependencies and uninstall almost my whole system!

Thanks for any help.

try "yum upgrade" first

Same problem here...
> yum install mysql-devel

clear you cache:

yum clean all

Upgrade the package (not install):

yum upgrade

then install the -devel package:

yum install mysql-devel

5.0.86 is the latest
