in all that cases the default package of the distribution (at least outside debian) is unversioned and you can optin to an older or newer major version by explicit install "mysql8" but the expected default in just do "dnf install mysqld" and if you can install both at the same time (depends on packaging) https://linux.die.net/man/8/alternatives is the way to go _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
