CentOS 7.4-1708 install problem

MySQL & MariaDB Percona Server for MySQL 5.7
1

I am having trouble installing Percona on a freshly installed CentOS 7.4-1708. I am following the instructions on this page - [url]https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/LATEST/installation/yum_repo.html[/url]

I started with the easy install on yum:
[INDENT][I]yum install [url]http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/redhat/0.1-4/percona-release-0.1-4.noarch.rpm[/url]
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks

This worked quite well, however the next step failed:
[INDENT][I]yum install Percona-Server-server-57

    You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest[/I][/INDENT]

I attempted both ‘suggestions’ but they did not help (skip broken and rpm…)

So I decided to run the rpm install. I first removed percona with [INDENT]yum remove percona*[/INDENT]
and then downloaded the .tar file, expanded it and ran:
[INDENT]rpm -ivh Percona-Server-server-57-5.7.10-3.1.el7.x86_64.rpm Percona-Server-client-57-5.7.10-3.1.el7.x86_64.rpm Percona-Server-shared-57-5.7.10-3.1.el7.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
Percona-Server-shared-compat-57 is needed by Percona-Server-shared-57-5.7.10-3.1.el7.x86_64[/INDENT]

Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Hi wesmat;

Looks like some fun dependency issues going on there. What happens if you try and do “yum remove mariadb-libs”? If it will let you remove that without removing whatever it is depending on (Anaconda?), then that is the easiest route. If that doesn’t work, I’d try to remove it via “rpm -e --nodeps”. That should force the removal despite the dependency, and then you’ll have to verify that whatever was depending on it still works after you install Percona Server.

Alternatively if you want to just install via RPM as you tried, looks like it just wanted you to also include the Percona-Server-shared-compat RPM that should have came in that same bundle you downloaded.

Thanks! The ‘yum remove mariadb-libs’ worked and everything is now installed.
