MariaDB conflicts with unixODBC and filesystem

[Eyad Bereh]

Greetings to all members and moderators

I've got a VPS which runs CentOS 7, and i would like to install MariaDB 10.6.4
Before going on with the problem, i've already had MariaDB 5.5 installed, so i completely uninstalled it alongside its shared libraries (mariadb-libs), but when i tried to install MariaDB 10.6.4 i've got the following error message:

file /usr/share/man/man1 from install of MariaDB-client-10.6.4-1.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package unixODBC-2.3.7-1.rh.x86_64
file /usr/share/man/man1 from install of MariaDB-client-10.6.4-1.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-25.el7.x86_64

Steps to reproduce:
I downloaded the source from https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/10.6.4/ and compiled it as being explained in https://mariadb.com/kb/en/source-buildi ... on-centos/ , and this has generated the following rpm files:

• MariaDB--centos7-x86_64-backup.rpm

• MariaDB--centos7-x86_64-client.rpm

• MariaDB--centos7-x86_64-common.rpm

• MariaDB--centos7-x86_64-connect-engine.rpm

• MariaDB--centos7-x86_64-devel.rpm

• MariaDB--centos7-x86_64-gssapi-server.rpm

• MariaDB--centos7-x86_64-rocksdb-engine.rpm

• MariaDB--centos7-x86_64-server.rpm

• MariaDB--centos7-x86_64-shared.rpm

• MariaDB--centos7-x86_64-test.rpm

At first, i've installed:

• MariaDB-shared-10.6.4-1.el7.x86_64

• MariaDB-common-10.6.4-1.el7.x86_64

But after that, running the command

Code: Select all

sudo rpm i MariaDB--centos7-x86_64-client.rpm

yields the aforementioned error

To be honest, i've found the following 2 links while i was investigating the problem:

• https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-24996

• https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-22813

But i couldn't understand the fix
If someone could point me to the solution that would be great
Thanks in advance

These are packaging bugs in the mariadb packages and need to be reported to the people that produce them. They should not be supplying files that are already supplied by CentOS provided packages.

Note: CentOS SIG has small repo(s) for OpenStack. The latest ones supply MariaDB 10.3.20. That definitely installs cleanly (but is no 10.6).

The IUS repo has mariadb 10.4.
