inconsistencies in repositories

Hi,

after reading documentation on fedora.redhat.org, yum and apt sites I can't
see any other way out than asking you for help.

the problem:
I got installed a server with fedora, I have ssh root access to it. The
installation was done without mysql and without php-mysql.

I'm trying to install it now from command line.

I understand that the right tool for it is yum and not up2date.
However when I try to install i get:
# yum install php-mysql
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
Server: Fedora Project testing RPMS for RHL 9
Server: Fedora Project update RPMS for RHL 9
Server: Fedora Linux (stable) for Fedora Core 1 -- Fedora US mirror
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Resolving dependencies
..package MySQL-devel needs MySQL-client (not provided)
package MySQL-bench needs MySQL-client (not provided)

in my yum.conf I have:

[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-$releasever

[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-$releasever

#[updates-testing]
#name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Unreleased Updates
#baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/testing/fedora-core-$releasever


[fedora-updates-9]
name=Fedora Project update RPMS for RHL 9
baseurl=http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/yum/updates/

[fedora-stable-9]
name=Fedora Project Stable RPMS for RHL 9
baseurl=http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/yum/stable/

[fedora-stable-9]
name=Fedora Project testing RPMS for RHL 9
baseurl=http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/yum/testing/

[fedora-us-1-stable]
name=Fedora Linux (stable) for Fedora Core 1 -- Fedora US mirror
baseurl=http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/1/i386/yum/sta
ble/


Now, I can't believe that php-mysql-client is not available in the official
repositories fedora.redhat.org etc.

Besides, I read on this list and, if I recall, on tht fedora site, that the
current version for php on fedora is 4.3.4, what I see is only 4.3.3 and no
update is offered. I also have installed Fedora on a machine at home some
time ago and it also has php 4.3.3 and doesn't get updated (it has php-mysql
though).

So the questions are:
1) Is there something wong with me (meaning, that although I'v used hours to
read docs I didn't get the clue), or with the repositories?
2) How can I install pjp-mysql?


Thanks for any help

Paolo
