The mysql package is probably going to be the hardest one to install 
actually.

The problems you're having here are because you already have all of 
these standard FC3 packages installed but they are built against the 
MySQL version 3 libraries, so when you update to version 4, they will no 
longer work.

What you need to be able to do is to install the version 4 libraries and 
also an additional "backwards compatibility" package at the same time 
containing the version 3 libraries.

There is an article here:
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/tony_smith/mysql/
that shows one way of creating such a package.
