I upgraded my server from Fedora FC6 to FC8, and all seemed OK at the

a subsequent "yum update" to catch all the post-FC8 updates threw up a
number of errors like this:
file /usr/bin/msql2mysql from install of
mysql-5.0.45-6.fc8.x86_64 conflicts with file from
package
mysql-5.0.27-1.fc6.i386
Apparently there are conflicts between the FC8 64-bit packages and the
FC6 32-bit packages.
I'm reluctant to simply "yum remove" the old MYSQL then "yum install"
the new one, in case my DBMAIL database get lost in the process...
It won't, rpm will only remove packages that belong to it, try:
rpm -q -filesbypkg mysql-version-release.arch
You should see that the database files don't belong to the package.
Although doing a backup is still a good idea before you start deleting
stuff.
If 'yum remove' wants to delete too many packages as dependencies, then
remove the offending packages by hand, that is with 'rpm -e -nodeps
packagename-version-release.arch'.
