I installed a CentOS-5 core OS (using --nobase in my kickstart).
For some reason, it included mysql-5.0.22.
When I do "yum remove mysql", it says it will also remove exim and mdadm for dependencies.
I don't care that exim will be removed, but I need mdadm as I'm doing software RAID.
But why are these even related? When I do: rpm -q --requires mysql neither exim or mdadm is listed as being a requirement.
This is an odd dep chain. It would seem that exim requires mysql for some odd reason.
FYI -
Exim requires a database to store various bits of information relating to email message reception. The exim RPM has been built such that mysql is required - although Exim can use CDB, DB4, postgresql (I think) and so on.
