Re: [CentOS] mdadm exim mysql

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.

Johnn,

I've had the same issue. The solution is to include postfix (or sendmail) into your kickstart configfile. That resolves the smtpdaemon dependency for mdadm and it keeps you from getting mysql.
