Hi David, This is the result of rpm -qa | grep -i mysql: [danesh@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i mysql perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-5 mod_auth_mysql-20030510-5 MySQL-client-4.1.9-0 libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-9 MySQL-embedded-4.1.9-0 MySQL-bench-4.1.9-0 MySQL-python-0.9.2-4 MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.9-0 MySQL-shared-4.1.9-0 qt-MySQL-3.3.3-8 php-mysql-4.3.10-3.2 MySQL-devel-4.1.9-0 MySQL-server-4.1.9-0 I think all RPMs which are needed are installed, so whats the problem ? (sorry I am asking a question which is related to MySQL and not fc3) Also, why I can not remove them ? --- David Hoffman <dhoffman2004@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sun, 6 Feb 2005 08:20:31 -0800 (PST), Danesh > Daroui > <danesh_d@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > On a system with fc3 I wanted to upgrade the > current > > MySQL (3.23) to latest version (4.1).
