I'm not sure why but mysql never restarted after an update, even from
the "official" Redhat updates.  I guess the thinking was that they
didn't want to shutdown a running server in the middle of a query?  But
it's kinda pointless because the mysql server is pretty much busted
after you install the RPM.  You *need* the restart to make it work.

In any case, install the mysql-server manually just like the kernel.  :)
