Topic: perl-DBD-MySQL upgrade 2.9 > 4.x

[pauljclarke]

Hi,

As part of my upgrade process of Bugzilla from 2.22.2 to 3.1... I need to have perl-DBD-mysql V4.0 as a min, however SME comes with V2.9

So first using the Dag repo I did a yum update and pulled in an it installed ok, update, reboot etc - I think?

then when i ran the script that comes with Bugzilla is says that v2.9 is still installed.? odd.?

Cos when I do 'yum info perl-DBD*' its lists two entries of the perl mob as follows

perl-DBD-MySQL V2.9004
perl-DBD-mysql V4.006

(-pg and -SQLite ignored but noted)

Note that the case of the names....?

So why do I now have two? how do I get rid of V2.9004.... cos when I do this with YUM is wants to also remove e-smith-mysql and mysql-server which I'm guessing is not a great idea.!?

Thanks

It probably did not override it because of case differences in the naming, it seems CentOS calls it perl-DBD-MySQL whereas dag calls it perl-DBD-mysql. You could have noticed during install. Most likely it said install instead of update.

Although it is WIP you might want to take look at this: http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/gswallow/sme7/addons-testing/bugzilla/

Hi,

I have seen them and did make comments that I'd help out - however got little response. We have a working 2.22.2 install but want to move to 3.x, so have second server to play on, hence my experimenting with this route...

...so as Bugzilla is seeing the first version (V2.009) how can I remove it safely? is there a way to see which one perl really uses?
