There is way more but there is too much to put into the post.

Hello:
I don't recall seeing those conflicts before ?

So just a suggestion

From a terminal
yum -y update yum

yum -y install yumex

Yumex is a gui for yum, you will find it installed under
\Applications
\System Tools
Yum Extender

Use yumex and pick 20-30 packages at a time and try updating those.
Then move on to the next 20-30 etc.

If you find a conflict, remove the conflicting package from the queue and continue on.

Okay, Thank you.

You could also try
yum clean all

Then try again.

You seem to have switched from i386 to x86_64. I would not expect these to be compatible. What is your machine architecture and what media did you install from?

I seem to have the same problem. I used FC6 x86_64 with, apparently, mysql for a i386 architecture. After upgrading FC6 to FC8 x86_64 is get the same conflicts as descriped above. Is is possible that the FC6 x86_64 contained MySQL i386?

[kldixon]

You could get a list of any installed i386 packages with:-

$ rpm -qa --qf "%-30{NAME} %-15{VERSION} %{ARCH}\n" | grep i386

Then check the repo for updates with a x86_64 arch and remove the i386 package before installing the x86_64 one. You are likely to run into dependency issues so do it methodically.

I have never installed a 64 bit machine, so these are just suggestions.

FWIW, I ran into problems upgrading, many years ago, and have done clean installs ever since.

[ff01]

Thanx. I indeed get i386 installed packages. What concerns me, I see a fc6-i386 version of mysql running as well as a fc8-x86_64 version of mysql. I don't know what caused it, but I'll have to repair it.

Maybe not such a bad idee of doing a clean install instead of an upgrade
