I said I would need help :\

I have these 12 mysql packages installed:-
php-mysql-5.3.8-2.mga2
perl-DBD-mysql-4.20.0-1.mga2
mysql-common-core-5.5.15-2.mga2
lib64mysqlservices-5.5.15-2.mga2
lib64mysqld0-5.5.15-2.mga2
mysql-client-5.5.15-2.mga2
mysql-core-5.5.15-2.mga2
qt4-database-plugin-mysql-4.7.4-5.mga2
mysql-5.5.15-2.mga2
lib64mysql18-5.5.15-2.mga2
mysql-common-5.5.15-2.mga2
lib64mysql-devel-5.5.15-2.mga2

Yet with testing enabled I see :-
[baz at jackodesktop ~]$ urpmq mariadb -a
mariadb

and...

[baz at jackodesktop ~]$ urpmq --provides mariadb
mysql
adt_null.so()(64bit)
auth_socket.so()(64bit)
auth_test_plugin.so()(64bit)
dialog.so()(64bit)
dialog_examples.so()(64bit)
ha_archive.so()(64bit)
ha_blackhole.so()(64bit)
ha_federated.so()(64bit)
ha_federatedx.so()(64bit)
ha_innodb.so()(64bit)
ha_oqgraph.so()(64bit)
ha_sphinx.so()(64bit)
mypluglib.so()(64bit)
mysql_clear_password.so()(64bit)
qa_auth_client.so()(64bit)
qa_auth_interface.so()(64bit)
qa_auth_server.so()(64bit)
semisync_master.so()(64bit)
semisync_slave.so()(64bit)
mariadb[== 5.5.15-0.4.mga2]
mariadb(x86-64)[== 5.5.15-0.4.mga2]
[baz at jackodesktop ~]$

So are you saying to remove all 12 or just "mysql" ?
If I remove all 12 where do the replacements come from?
Just a bit confused :\
Maybe I'm missing something obvious  ;)
