Quite the opposite. Yum is doing exactly as it was told: [whooper@token i386]$ rpm -qp --conflicts mysql-3.23.58-16.FC3.1.i386.rpm MySQL The FC3 mysql package has an explicit conflict with the MySQL (from mysql.org) package. I would say that if you turned up the debugging on yum that a FC3 package needs something provided by the FC3 mysql RPM that isn't provided by the MySQL RPM. Before throwing stones at YUM it is best to look at the packages for problems. -- William Hooper
