I installed mysql on my centos 6 yesterday but I wasb't aware that it's installing mysql 5.1 which is an outdated version. Now I've remove old version and all it's dependencies, but when I try to install MySQL 5.5 yum says there are problems because of mysql-libs conflicting with new one.

As you can see it's downloading both mysql libs for mysql 5.5 and 5.1! How can I fix that?

You also have the IUS community repo installed and enabled. Disable this repo, as it conflicts with remi (and many other repositories).

  • It seems that I have too many repositories which are conflicting each other! Which repositories should I keep and which I should disable? Commented Nov 13, 2012 at 15:21

I don't think this is a problem that needs to be fixed. You have different libraries that depend on different versions of the libmysqlclient.so, the DB server can talk to clients of different versions safely. In this case MySQL comes with some utilities written in perl and the perl MySQL library is built against the 5.1 version of the client library, shouldn't affect the utilities in any way.

The problem was because of repositories conflict, which some of them are storing newer version of mySQL and some of them are just holding their old, sure-to-be-stable versions.

I disabled those repositories and kept only the ones which are holding latest stable version of MySQL and problem fixed.

Thanks for your help!

  • @MichaelHampton I have wrote 2 comments under your answer which by the way you didn't even bothered to answer one of them. Commented Dec 14, 2012 at 19:23
  • @faridv I think Michael took issue with the fact that his answer pointed to the solution, yet you wrote a nearly identical Answer and Accepted your own instead of his. This sort of behavior is highly frowned upon on Stack Exchange. Commented Dec 14, 2012 at 19:30

    @ChrisS I'm sure his answer is not completely correct but it helped me to find my solution, I asked him to guide me more clearly on his answer by commenting on his answer but he didn't answered them and now I have answered my question by myself and shared my own solution. What else could I do, remove my question or live it be for the end of time unanswered for the people who may have the same question?! Commented Dec 14, 2012 at 19:42
  • Your "answer" says nothing more than my answer does, and it certainly does not go into the detail you claim to have wanted. Commented Dec 14, 2012 at 19:47

If you want to install MySql 5.5 on a CentOS 6 and over-right conflicts in mysql-libs you have to:

yum install yum-plugin-replace wget https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm yum install mysql.`uname -i` yum-plugin-replace yum replace mysql --replace-with mysql55w yum replace mysql-libs --replace-with mysql55w-libs yum install mysql55w-server mysql55w service mysqld start mysql_secure_installation
