I am trying to upgrade to the new version of mySQL on Fedora Core 2
Linux. I have "mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.58, for
redhat-linux-gnu (i386)"
some days ago, I had the same problem.
Redhat's rpm packages mysql-3* and MySQL's new packages MySQL-4.0.20*
are not compatible, because the are build in different ways -
different nameing scheme and different content. Thatswhy this is no
good idea to try "rpm -Uvh ...".
I've deinstalled the old packages by "rpm -e ..." (save /etc/my.cnf
and /var/lib/mysql before) and installed the new one on a
'mysql-clean' base.
Bye, Wolfgang
