Are you installing an RPM?

If so, try this:

–replacefiles

eg.

rpm -Uvh mysql-3.23.56-1.80 --replacefiles

Just did a google search and found this page which looks similar to your error: http://home.ubalt.edu/abento/752/mysql/

(google is your friend)

Hi ..

You are trying to install the rpm downloaded from mysql.com.

I usualy remove first the previous version from the distribution and then install the new one.

I always remove mysql, php, apache … etc and then compile from the source.

This way I can have new versions as they came out.
