I'm trying to install the latest webtatic MySQL 5.5 edition via yum (http://webtatic.com/packages/mysql55/) on CentOS 6.5 but every time I try I get the following output ending in error:

# yum install mysql55w mysql55w-server

Considered running yum remove mysql-libs but that removes a lot of other dependencies that I'm pretty sure will cause me some problems:

Removing:

How do I get around this?

You can resolve it by switching the mysql-libs package to mysql55w-libs. This needs to be done in one transaction to avoid it uninstalling the other dependencies:

yum install yum-plugin-replace
yum replace mysql-libs --replace-with mysql55w-libs

yum install mysql55w mysql55w-server

    I got the following error when I did the replace command. Should I be bothered? WARNING: Unable to resolve all providers: ['config(mysql-libs)', 'libmysqlclient.so.16()(64bit)', 'libmysqlclient.so.16(libmysqlclient_16)(64bit)', 'libmysqlclient_r.so.16()(64bit)', 'libmysqlclient_r.so.16(libmysqlclient_16)(64bit)']

    It can sometimes signify something wrong, but if you confirm it, you'll see the packages being installed and uninstalled, so that will be more familiar to you to see whether things like postfix is unintentially being uninstalled
