I have built several servers using Fedora Core 3, and normally, I use yum to keep them up to date with no problems -- it works nicely, however, I have one particular one which uses the newer version of MySQL -- 4.1xx When I run a yum update, yum wants to roll me back to version 3x, which is obviously not desirable. Is this normal behavior, or am I doing something wrong. I would like to get everything up to date, so that I am not running the risk of security vulnerabilities.
Did you install MySQL 4.x using rpms, and not using any daft options like --nodeps or --force? If so, yum should not be doing this.
Can you report the output of: $ rpm -qa | grep -i mysql on this machine? Paul.
