I tried to update mysql (MySQL) with the up2date tool. with the following command: up2date mysql mysql-devel mysql-server The result was: file /usr/bin/isamchk from install of mysql-3.23.29-1 conflicts with file from package MySQL-3.23.28-1 file /usr/bin/isamlog from install of mysql-3.23.29-1 conflicts with file from package MySQL-3.23.28-1 file /usr/bin/my_print_defaults from install of mysql-3.23.29-1 conflicts with file from package MySQL-3.23.28-1 etc.. for all the packages: However, the update went through and I've now ended up with: rpm -q mysql mysql-3.23.22-6 rpm -q MySQL MySQL-3.23.28-1 The server is a RH6.2 uppgraded to RH7.0.
On further inspection it seems that the problem is not related to up2date but rather on the RedHat upgrade procedure.
What is the output of "rpm -qi MySQL"?
Package names are case-sensitive, and I suspect that the MySQL packages are not the ones we shipped. Changing the mysql package's name to MySQL would break upgrades.
