    I am running x_64 Fedora and don't know if removing the i686 mysql package using rmdir command will solve the problem.

    Thank you.

    Instead of:

    # yum -y mysql-server

    have you tried:

    # yum install -y mysql-server
    Thanks.

    unfortunately i have the same problem. Can anyone advise me on removing the conflict between the x_64 files and the i686 files?

    Thank you.

    Thank you.
    You can try to remove mysql first (yum erase mysql-server) and then try the install. Check which repository you are installing from as well.

    if it wasn't installed with yum, i'm not sure if it that will remove it. you might able to use
    Code:
    rpm -e --force mysql-server
    or maybe --nodeps, to ignore dependency complaints

    This will force it gone, so anything depending on it is going to break.

    you could also try:

    Code:
    yum reinstall mysql-server
    If you got other repos like rpmforge or something you should seriously consider installing yum-priorities and assigning priority values to your RPM repositories.
