Additional info: workaround is to "yum remove mysql" prior to upgrade, then reinstall afterwords. Keep track of dependent components that are also removed.
more details needed: - what the state of the pkgs before the update - does anything obsolete the other pkgs - is this a multilib machine?
This has doubtless got something to do with having split the libraries into a new separate RPM, but I'd have thought that would Just Work. The multilib point seems important --- exactly which packages did you have installed?
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.

This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
