    You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Seems that you have pretty mess in your current packages and available repositories. You seem to have installed various mysql packages from all these repositories: Centos, art, Percona. Also you seems to have Percona-Server-shared-56 already installed, while you cannot mix 5.5 and 5.6 packages.

Try to uninstall all the existing MySQL and Percona Server packages first, and then re-try installing Percona Server 5.5.

Thanks, your advice helped me! The problem was the mysql-libs package which presumably had been installed by something else.

yum remove mysql-libs
yum update

Hi,try:

  1. Download mysql-community-libs-compat from mysql ([url]https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/[/url])
    rpm -i mysql-community-libs-compat-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

  2. Install perl-DBD-MySQL
    yum install perl-DBD-MySQL

  3. Install percona-xtrabackup
    yum install percona-xtrabackup
