Hi,
Things are dificult.
First do "rpm -e mysql". Then everything should be gone, so check that. Then the "rpm -ivh mysql..." should work. You can't delete and install at the same time.
[root@mail rpms]# rpm -e mysql-5.0.33-1.i386.rpm error: package mysql-5.0.33-1.i386.rpm is not installed [root@mail rpms]#
[root@mail rpms]# rpm -ivh mysql-5.0.33-1.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package mysql-5.0.33-1 is already installed
Contradictions....
Warm Regards, Mário Gamito
