error: failed dependency on mysql update FC2

[gbrkathy]

Hello
Newbie here. Was updating as per instructions from http://fedoranews.org/contributors/tony_smith/mysql/

after having removed failed dependecies, and doing rpm -Uvh mysql-server-4.0.17-0.i386.rpm, get error message saying
error: Failed dependencies:
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-4

what to do now? Does anyone have instructions for newbie here who has little technical savvy?

Thanks in advance
:)

do rpm -e perl-DBD-MySQL as you probably don't need the perl package.

Hey thanks for that but still broke with this:

error: Failed dependencies:
perl-DBD-MySQL is needed by (installed) mysql-3.23.58-9
what to do now? Any help greatly appreciated.
:eek:

try apt-get remove mysql

then say no when it asks. But post the messages here.

thank you ghenry, i have instead done a yum remove mysql;3x then rpm -ivh mysql shared compat, client, server and that works.

Kindest regards to you.
Kathy :D
