Thanks Michael,
I have another comment regarding the MySQL documentation which shows that
one must be careful and always do an rpm -i or similar before doing
an rpm --nodeps -i or rpm --nodeps -U ...
The section entitled "4.6.1 Linux RPM Notes" of the MySQL manual says the
following:
The RPM files you may want to use are:
MySQL-VERSION.i386.rpm
MySQL-client-VERSION.i386.rpm
MySQL-bench-VERSION.i386.rpm
MySQL-devel-VERSION.i386.rpm
MySQL-VERSION.src.rpm
This list is incomplete because MySQL-bench requires MySQL-DBI-perl-bin.
Either MySQL-DBI-perl-bin should be added to the list or MySQL-bench
should be removed from the list.
[root@tulip /tmp]# rpm -i MySQL-bench-3.23.30-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
MySQL-DBI-perl-bin is needed by MySQL-bench-3.23.30-1
/usr/bin/perl5 is needed by MySQL-bench-3.23.30-1
[root@tulip /tmp]#
Regards,
Neil
