Here's a dirty fix:
yum install php-mysql ruby-mysql
Endure the nagging... hopefully it has downloaded the RPM's... else, get them, then...
rpm --force -i /var/cache/yum/x86_64/17/updates/packages/mysql-libs-5.5.29-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm
Now fedora thinks it's installed and won't nag. Much.
yum install php-mysql ruby-mysql
and everything else...
Plan B is to not use the repos and manually compile and install to /usr/local...
PS. This markdown sucks - or at least, the help page does. 4 attempts and I still can't get quoting right. Screw it.
There are more conflicts, for example Postfix can report dependency problems. This is what I did to get MariaDB 10 installed in CentOS 6.3,
They are all downloaded into the /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/updates/packages and /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/base/packages folder. Install them manually with rpm -i [package] , you have to find the right order yourself.
Start the service and run the /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation .
Those where my two cents.
I expect the problem should be fixed along with MDEV-3971 which was initially reported for CentOS.
