# yum provides mysql
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Linux / stable for Red Hat Linux 9 (i386)
Server: Macromedia Flash Player for Red Hat Linux 9

Server: Red Hat Linux 9 (i386) updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Looking in available packages for a providing package
No packages found
Looking in installed packages for a providing package
Installed package: mysql provides mysql
1 results returned

No matter what I try, yum is not able to find that the repo has mysql packages.
