rpm xTrabackup 1.2 fails asking for mysql-client

Hi all,
I’m trying to upgrade xTrabackup to 1.2 version but rpm fails. Here is my configuration:

- Server version: 5.1.50-log MySQL Community Server (GPL)

[root@xtrabackup]$ uname -a
Linux xtrabackup.devcs.belkin 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:48 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root@xtrabackup]$ rpm -qa | grep -i -e backup
xtrabackup-1.0-56.rhel5

[root@xtrabackup]$ rpm -ihv xtrabackup-1.2-22.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
warning: xtrabackup-1.2-22.rhel5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID cd2efd2a
error: Failed dependencies:

[root@xtrabackup]$ rpm -Uhv xtrabackup-1.2-22.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
warning: xtrabackup-1.2-22.rhel5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID cd2efd2a
error: Failed dependencies:

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I tried doing the same and am having the same problem.

I’m running Redhat 5.4 using MYSQL-Community 5.1.50

I tried installing the Percona Repo but that seems to want to install the Percona version of Mysql which I believe will overwrite my current installed version of MYSQL
Percona-SQL-client-50

Does anyone has any information on how I can upgrade my current version of XTRABACKUP from 1.0-56.rhel5 to xtrabackup-1.2-22.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

So, I found what I believe is a work around…

I downloaded and installed MYSQL-Client-Community version 5.1.50-1.rhel5

Once I did that I was able to install Xtrabackup 1.2-22 without any further issues.

Now, my question is, I had MYSQL-Server-Community installed.
WOuld doing this affect my current server installation?
