 Description   

Fedora 19 includes MariaDB now, but it looks like the packages in the MariaDB repo does not obsolete them.

Transaction check error:

This looks similar to MDEV-5250, but this is on Fedora 19.

The workaround is to remove the distro provided packages first.

I don't have a good solution for this yet. What happens — some files that are in the Fedora's mysql-libs.rpm are in MariaDB-common, while others are in MariaDB-shared. So, both MariaDB packages conflict with mysql-libs.

Ideally, when one has mysql-libs installed, an attempt to install anything MariaDB-* should install MariaDB-shared, replacing mysql-libs. But if mysql-libs isn't installed, MariDB-shared shouldn't be installed automatically, only when a user explicitly requests it. I am not sure if there's a way to tell yum to do that.

I can, perhaps, check this condition in the MariaDB-common preinst script and abort with a verbose explanation, if needed.

oden, do you have any suggestions?

I have a solution for this while working on the deps, so you can add the http://yum.mariadb.org/ repo and do "yum update" which replaces the distro packages, but..., then I hit a brick wall and got no answer for quite a while now: https://lists.launchpad.net/maria-developers/msg06586.html
