The RPMs on the MySQL site don't seem to match RedHat's RPM layout at all -
the RedHat RPM can't be "upgraded" to the MySQL RPM (even the package names
are different - "mysql" in RedHat vs "MySQL" in the MySQL package).
The only thing you can do is:
* rpm -e `rpm -q -a | grep mysql`
* rpm --install -v <packages from MySQL download site>
(i.e. a clean install), followed by whatever other system-specific changes
you've already made (e.g. what runlevels it starts at, etc.)
The DB should be OK through the above process - rpm -e won't delete your
DBs.
If the MySQL RPM ends up creating the DB root somewhere else, you may need
to put in a symbolic link from that directory to wherever your current DB
location is..

Subject: upgrade rpm and database
Am running mysql 3.23.22 with problem with linuxconf. Want to upgrade to
3.23.36 or 37, but get following error messages:
for 3.23.36 says:
mysql = 3.23.22 is needed by mysql-server-3.23.22-6
libmysqlclient.so.9 is needed by mysql-server-3.23.22-6
libmysqclient.so.9 is needed by php-mysql-4.0.1pl2-9
curiously, in /usr/lib/mysql there is:
libmysqlclient.so.9
libmysqlclient.so.9.0.0
so, I tried updating original install for libmysqlclient.so.9 but it
says it's already installed. What do I do ? I though libmysqlclient.so.9
is already installed, as I can see it, as a result of the original
mysql-3.23.22-6 installation. On rpmfind.net all the
libmysqlclient.so.9 are included in the -6 rpm I alread have. Thanx,
very confused.
Runniing
rpm -Uvh mysql-3.23.22-6.i386 give me:
package mysql-3.23.22-6 is already installed.
also, cannot upgrade from glibc-2.1.92-14 to 2.2.2-10
get:
glibc < 2.2.2 conflicts with glibc-common-2.2.2-10
same issue perhaps?
thanx
