Hi Percona Community ,

I would like to install another version of Mysql Server on Oracle Linux 8. I removed the percona-server-server 8.0.34 and tried to install mysql-server 8.0.13. however, i’m getting the below errors. any ideas what is causing it and how to fix it? I already removed percona-server-server 8.0.34, but not sure why it’s still complaining about the installation is conflict with it. Please help me to have a look and install mysql-server 8.0.13? Thanks

Hi Larry,

It looks like percona-server hasn’t been correctly removed.
Could you provide a command that was used for the removing?

Hi Vadim,

The command used to uninstall percona is: #yum -y remove percona-server-server. Any recommendations on how to properly uninstall percona server? seems to have uninstalled ok but probably needed to manually removed some other files.

Regards,

Hi larsjr,

Do “rpm -qa | grep -i percona” and check if there is any remaining 8.0.34 package.

Also do note that 8.0.13 is more than 5 years old and there were various hundreds (possibly a couple thousand) bug fixes between then and 8.0.34. I would suggest you avoid using such and old version

Regards

Hi CTutte,

Here is the output of the rpm -qa | grep -i percona command.

rpm -qa | grep -i percona

percona-release-1.0-27.noarch

Hi,
Maybe your rpm database is still holding the file info. You can try rebuilding the RPM database using the following,

rpmdb --rebuilddb -v -v
