Description Honza Horak 2014-08-06 11:50:30 UTC

Description of problem:
mysql55-mysql-server requires perl-DBD-MySQL (probably because mysqlhotcopy), which in turn requires mysql-5.0, that is no maintained any more by upstream.

We need to find out if there is no other utility that would require it, since we could then use a work-around with `rpm --nodeps` to get rid of unsupported mysql-5.0 (upstream does not support this version any more). 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install mysql55-mysql-server
2. yum remove mysql

Actual results:
mysql55-mysql-server is uninstalled

Expected results:
mysql55-mysql-server remains

Additional info:
Please, notice that this bug probably won't be solved by any update, since RHEL-5 is in a late stage, but might server for documentation purposes.
