MySQL on FC3

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

    On FC3:

    # rpm -qa | grep - i mysql
    mysql-3.23.58-13
    mysql-devel-3.23.58-13
    mysql-server-3.23.58-13
    perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-5
    libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-9
    MySQL-python-0.9.2-4
    php-mysql-4.3.9-3
    mod_auth_mysql-20030510-5


    Notice how it has mysql as well as an mysql-server, which are the 
client and server rpm's respectively.  However, with the MySQL 4 rpm, 
you get:

    MySQL-client-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm
    MySQL-devel-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm
    MySQL-Max-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm
    MySQL-server-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm
    MySQL-shared-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm
    MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm

    So how is one supposed to upgrade (with -Fvh) to the latest MySQL if 
the rpm's don't match?  Removing 3.23.58 from the system to do a fresh 
install of 4.0 will cause all kinds of grief because of all the other 
dependencies (perl-DBD, lib-dbi, MySQL-python, php-mysql, and 
mod_auth-mysql)
