On FC3:
# rpm -qa | grep - i mysql mysql-3.23.58-13 mysql-devel-3.23.58-13 mysql-server-3.23.58-13 perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-5 libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-9 MySQL-python-0.9.2-4 php-mysql-4.3.9-3 mod_auth_mysql-20030510-5
Notice how it has mysql as well as an mysql-server, which are the client and server rpm's respectively. However, with the MySQL 4 rpm, you get:
MySQL-client-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm MySQL-devel-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm MySQL-Max-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm MySQL-server-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm MySQL-shared-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm
So how is one supposed to upgrade (with -Fvh) to the latest MySQL if the rpm's don't match? Removing 3.23.58 from the system to do a fresh install of 4.0 will cause all kinds of grief because of all the other dependencies (perl-DBD, lib-dbi, MySQL-python, php-mysql, and mod_auth-mysql)
