Nothing to do
why don't you just do:
# rpm -e mysql ?
Because RPM will tell him that all of the packages listed above depend on mysql and rpm will refuse to remove it.
It might be worth trying to remove everything in one go though:
# rpm -e mysql mysql-devel MyODBC perl-DBD-MySQL MySQL-python libdbi-dbd-mysql
I'm not sure why yum thinks that "package mysql.i386 0:3.23.58-16.FC3.1 set to be updated", which is why the yum remove is failing.
