yum update fails after FC6->FC9->FC11 upgrade on MySQL-server rpm
 

Dunno what went wrong here - I just did 3 servers, all of which were running FC6, via FC9 (because I read FC6->FC11 directly isn't as smooth otherwise) and 2 worked without a hitch whereas the 3rd did, but on the first yum update gave conflicts on just MySQL-server. This might have had mysql installed on it when it was running FC6, and that was before it started being included in the distros so would have been done manually.

Heres the log with a few things I tried - anyone got a hint please?

i am VERY surprised that 2 worked .going from 6 to 11 SHOULD NOT work
fedora 6 filesysten is ext3
fedora 11 filesystem is ext4 ( boot is still ext3)

f6 's boot inode is 128 bit
f11's is 256 bit

there also have been many package RENAMES since fedora 6
and some deprecated packages

i would DO A FRESH CLEAN INSTALL of fedora 11 after reformatting the drive.
