You might need to use rpm -e to uninstall previous version first. Check the documentation.

I tried using the RPM facility to install and upgrade the new packages I just downloaded but I get conflicts... ie... [root@frodo MySQL]# rpm --install MySQL-3.23.53a-1.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: MySQL conflicts with mysql-3.23.41-1 MySQL-server conflicts with mysql-server-3.23.41-1 [root@frodo MySQL]# rpm -U MySQL-3.23.53a-1.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: MySQL-server conflicts with mysql-server-3.23.41-1 libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by mysql-server-3.23.41-1 libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by perl-DBD-MySQL-1.2216-4 [root@frodo MySQL]# So what should I do? Do I need to actually remove the old MySQL first and then install the new one? - Rick Root --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
