Topic: problem upgrading perl-DBD and perl-DBI using ergozd's scrip

[forumuser7]

HI,
I tryed to upgrade MySQL to v 4.1.11-0
using modified version of MySQL-4_1_10a.sh script
(from ergozd) which I downloaded from
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/ergozd/scripts/

I had to make 2 modifications to the above mentioned script because MySQL-4.1.10 could not be found anymore on the specified server.

That's why
1.I replaced the string 4.0.10a with 4.1.11-0
in the script MySQL-4_1_10a.sh.
2.I changed also the mirror site the updates are downloaded from to
ftp://mysql.mirror.cygnal.ca/pub/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-4.1
because
ftp://mysql.mirrored.ca/MySQL-4.1
seem to be down.

But when I run the script i got the following error while upgrading perl-DBD (and perl-DBI) package:
-------------------------------------
file .usr/lib/perl5/site_perl5.6.1/i386-linux/DBD/mysql.pm
from install of
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9004-8
conflicts with the file from package
perl-DBD-MySQL-1.2219-6
------------------------------------

I get error messages also for the following files:
mysql.pm,Mysql.pm, Statement.pm, mysql.so, mysql.3pm.gz

Can anyone help me to solve the problem?
Thank you for the help in advance!

No offence, but your approach to upgrading that script sound unlikely to succeed at best...

Try http://ftp6.us.freebsd.org/pub/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-4.1/
as your mysql mirror, it provides the necessary rpms:
MySQL-server-4.1.10a-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-devel-4.1.10a-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-client-4.1.10a-.i386.rpm
MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.10a-0.i386.rpm

Wait for a 4.1.11 script or do it right

Thank you for the reply DarMirage,

Most probably I'll go back to v.4.1.10a as you suggested .

Can you tell me if it is possible to
remove existing perl-DBD-MySQL-1.2219-6.rpm
and the install perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9004-8.i386.rpm
without any negative impact?

Thanks for the help!

I can't see any reason why a perl module should give problems when removing...
I just hope it didn't mess up your mysql databases just yet...

Don't forget to actually remove it before installing the other version:

Code: [Select]

rpm -e perl-DBD-MySQL

Thanks!

It worked!
