Please paste the output of 

rpm -qa | grep -iE 'mysql|maria|galera'

before your attempt to install, and the complete installation command.

Please paste the output of 

rpm -qa | grep -iE 'mysql|maria|galera'

before your attempt to run yum update.

and after i run "yum update" but the same error continue

Comment by Elena Stepanova [ 2017-06-24 ]

Thank you. It appears that you have MariaDB server installed from the default CentOS repo (which contains packages built and provided by CentOS), but when you run yum update, it tries to read and install stuff from MariaDB repo (which contains packages built and provided by MariaDB). While the components inside them are fully compatible, the packages themselves are not.

Is it your intention to switch from the CentOS repo to MariaDB repo? If it is, you'll probably need to remove CentOS packages first, and then install ones from MariaDB repo.
But if it's not the intention, please try to remove MariaDB repo from the list of yum repos, run yum clean all and then yum update again.

Unless you have a compelling reason to switch to MariaDB repo, I recommend staying with the distro repo, updates will be smoother this way.

Comment by Edgar [ 2017-06-24 ]

Thank you Ms Elena.

For remove mariadb direct repo; It works deleting file MariaDB.repo from MC?

NOTE: I remember now, I created manually file MariaDB.repo in etc/yum.repos.d because from the Centos repository it was never possible to update MariaDB.

Comment by Edgar [ 2017-06-24 ]

After deleting my MariaDB repo I run "yum clean all" and "yum update", then Mariadb is not updated to 5.5.56:

True, it appears that at the moment the latest MariaDB version available in CentOS repo is 5.5.52:

I'm not sure why it is so, whether it's their policy or an oversight, we need to find out.

Comment by Elena Stepanova [ 2017-07-23 ]

ratzpo, do you know how to contact CentOS to find out why MariaDB stopped being updated in their repo? Should we keep recommending people to install it from the default repo (regardless recent security fixes and everything), or should we switch the focus to our repo and search for proper migration paths, since as we know the installations are not easily interchangeable?

Comment by Sergei Golubchik [ 2017-08-21 ]

I've reported it upstream, https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=13700

But given that other MariaDB issues, starting from 2014 (e.g. https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=7557) still have "new" status, I wouldn't expect this one to be fixed anytime soon.

Comment by Elena Stepanova [ 2017-09-19 ]

serg,
In fact, there has been an update on your upstream report, although I'm not quite sure what to think of it. Apparently they have pinned 5.5.52 as a final version for CentOS 6 and now only apply security fixes to it. To make the point, they gave a link to a page explaining the policy, but I don't think it's relevant there – it is clearly about major upgrades, it doesn't explain why they would stop taking new minor versions. Anyway, their response is that they won't fix it.

Comment by Elena Stepanova [ 2017-10-01 ]

However, at least CentOS 7 repo has the up-to-date MariaDB 5.5.56 now. konk, were you able to upgrade to it successfully?
