MariaDB & MySQL maintainer here. Let's sort out some things first: * yeah, use DNF in Fedora. There shouldn't be any need to use yum anymore * We are talking about Fedora 30, which has currently MariaDB 10.3.12 nad MySQL 8.0.16 available. * You are trying to install 'mysql-workbench-community-8.0.16-1.fc30.x86_64.rpm' from the MySQL website: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/ (which isn't guarantied to work, but in general, there shouldn't be an issue) * Why is the Libreoffice uninstalled with MariaDB? Libreoffice has a "BuildRequires: mariadb-connector-c-devel", so it probabbly depend on that library from "mariadb-connector-c" package
Now, I tried to get F30 machine, install the workbench package, then "dnf install mariadb-server" and everything went without any issue. I did so on headless server, however I successfully started the graphic APP via X11 forwarding over SSH. It will show you a warning, that Oracle does not give a sh** about MariaDB, so there may be compatibility issues, however the basic SQL commands I tested went fine, as expected. Speaking of compatibility, you may want to use 'community-mysql' for this tool. I ran the `dnf remove "*mariadb*" `, then `dnf install community-mysql-server` and `rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/*` before service startup. The 'mysql-workbench' tool worked just fine. In the second transaction you did, you mixed up our Fedora packages - the 'community-mysql' - with Oracle packages the 'mysql-community'. They are expected to conflict since they provide nearly the same content. I'd recomment to use the Fedora packages, since they are built with the rest of the OS brought in mind. So try to get just the package set you need. Get a clean package set - decide if you want to use Fedora or Upstream packages and if you want MariaDB or MySQL and don't mix them up. Then there shouldn't be any conflicts or issues at all. -- Michal Schorm Software Engineer Core Services - Databases Team Red Hat -- On Tue, Jun 11, 2019 at 10:11 AM John Pilkington <johnpilk...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 10/06/2019 21:38, Paolo Galtieri wrote: > > Folks I have an issue with mariadb and community-mysql.
