mysql does not exist anymore but when i run yum remove mysql it says that the package is available but not marked for installation, i cannot install new mysql because of that, I need to completely delete everything related to it before installing new one, i do not have tables created so don't need to backup anything i tried to use the yum plugin yum-remove-with-leaves didn't work and didn't find any guide to install it properly, anyway i read on forums that it's buggy and should not be installed so I'm searching for other ways to remove mysql completely

and can i do it using sftp?

@quanta

the output of rpm -qa | grep mysql is

mysql55-libs-5.5.10-1.w5
libmysqlclientl5-5.0.77-1.1.w5
php-mysql-5.3.8-1.1.w5

EDIT

I tried

yum remove mysql
yum remove mysql-server
yum clean all

and it doesn't seem to fix it.

When I run yum install mysql mysql-server or yum install mysql or yum install install mysql-server i would get this

yum remove mysql55-libs and try again.

Besides, I saw you used a lot of repos: atomic, dag, epel, rpmforge, livna, ..., it may be the cause of conflicting. In my opinion, atomic and (rpmforge or epel) are enough.

ok how to remove the repos that i don't need, 'yum remove dog' or is there another way? – user Sep 5 '11 at 10:39
Open the /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo file and change enabled=1 to enabled=0. – quanta Sep 5 '11 at 10:45
didn't work, i got a new vps and it's working now, i guess there was something wrong with the server, thanks for your time sir – user Sep 6 '11 at 21:04
