Looks like you have a conflict between packages installed with your distro and the official mysql packages. Personally i would remove the origional packages first. Do an 'rpm -qa | grep -i "mysql"' which should list all the currently installed packages. remove these using rpm -e {package name} where {package name} is each package listed from the 'rpm -qa...' that is equivalent to the packages you want to install (e.g. mysql-server.xxxx for MySQL-xxxxx). you should then be able to install the newer packages. MySQL-bench is also saying it wants the mysql perl dbi module installed. you may want to go find and install this. as with any (re)installation i recommend you make a backup of your database first (usually /var/lib/mysql) if you have important information there.
