I am not certain, if this happens in an upgrade from ML 9.0, but you may want to check it out. In short, "urpmi MySQL-Max [MySQL]" only handles the conflict properly (i.e. suggesting uninstalling the MySQL package), after I upgraded to the newest MySQL package (MySQL-4.0.11a-4mdk). It looks that the installed RPM needs to have the conflict marker in order for it to be honored completely. This is only of interest for people who installed the -Max version of 3.23.x, which was supposed to have MySQL-Max installed alongside (more presicly: after) MySQL. From my observations (see below), I fear people having used MySQL-Max in this way, will run into the same conflict I had. But I am not sure about it and unfortunately don't have an v3.23 installation to test with. As this is a problem with the different packaging used before (also in ML9.0), it may be possible/probable that the problem will also happen for a full upgrade from 9.0 to 9.1, depending how similar the installer works to urpmi. With MySQL 4.0.11a-3mdk installed as this $ rpm -qa | grep -i mysql MySQL-client-4.0.11a-3mdk libmysql10-3.23.55-1mdk libmysql12-4.0.11a-3mdk MySQL-common-4.0.11a-3mdk MySQL-4.0.11a-3mdk php-mysql-4.3.0-2mdk I get the following: $ urpmi MySQL-Max MySQL To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed (17 MB): MySQL-4.0.11a-4mdk.i586 MySQL-Max-4.0.11a-4mdk.i586 MySQL-common-4.0.11a-4mdk.i586 Is this OK? (Y/n) installing /var/local/mirror/mandrake/cooker-tree/Mandrake/RPMS/MySQL-4.0.11a-4mdk.i586.rpm /var/local/mirror/mandrake/cooker-tree/Mandrake/RPMS/MySQL-Max-4.0.11a-4mdk.i586.rpm /var/local/mirror/mandrake/cooker-tree/Mandrake/RPMS/MySQL-common-4.0.11a-4mdk.i586.rpm Installation failed: MySQL-Max > 4.0.11 conflicts with MySQL-4.0.11a-4mdk MySQL > 4.0.11 conflicts with MySQL-Max-4.0.11a-4mdk The same happens with "urpmi MySQL-Max". As I said, the problem went away when I upgraded MySQL beforehand: Now I am asked that MySQL-Max resp. MySQL has to be removed in order to install the other packet. As I said, I am not sure how the installer will handle this, but I fear that it will try the equivalent of "urpmi MySQL-Max MySQL". If you are sure that is no problem for a full install, feel free to close this bug as invalid, of course. Severity: minor, because only users of MySQL-Max are affected (and people seem to not install it that much). (And yes, I am aware that my environment is signicantly different from ML 9.0, but the package conflict should be the same. I would love if someone could test with the ML 9.0 packages.)
