I suppose these could fall under the compatibility packages thing we have been talking about for things like newer boost or the like. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts#Compat_Package_Conflicts I think we are drving down a slippery slope here tho. A downside of this kind of thing also is packages or people who do 'yum install /usr/bin/mysqld'. They aren't really sure what they will get there. I wonder if this wouldn't be better in IUS? Or talk with upstream about renaming things so it can parallel install, and then perhaps we could change packages to need 'mysql-database' or something that could get added as a virtual provides to all of these? Not sure there's a good answer here. kevin
