If this is in fact true. Your rpm database is corrupt. EVERY rpm you install should get added to the rpm database. This means that these commands I told you to run, should give your current information on what mysql packages are installed. Note this only works for packages installed via rpm. > > If you don't know what it is expecting for package name, try this > > rpm -qa | grep mysql > > > > It will list all packages with mysql in their name:) > > > > Read "man rpm" for more info! > > > > Nick > > 'rpm -qa | grep mysql ' gives me only 3 packages... those packages were > installed at build time.

The only command that will give you information on rpms you have installed is rpm itself. Read through it's man pages for more details. You might try: rpm --rebuilddb to rebuild rpms database.
