Error with CentOS 7 MariaDB Repository

[jxfish2]

To whom it may concern,

There is a problem with the current repository, as it pertains to MariaDB.

When I attempt to install the MariaDB Server, I get a dependency error.
The error states:

"Error: Package: 1:mariadb-server-5.5.60-1.el7_5.x86_64 (base)
Requires: mariadb-libs(x86-64) = 1:5.5.60-1.el7_5
Error: Package: 1:mariadb-server-5.5.60-1.el7_5.x86_64 (base)
Requires: mariadb(x86-64) = 1:5.5.60-1.el7_5"

Both of these packages exist, but the name is slightly different, and they are not being picked up by yum.

mariadb-libs.x86-64 exists as: mariadb-libs.x86_64. The actual name has an "_", not a "-".

mariadb.x86-64 exists as: mariadb.x86_64. The actual name has an "_", not a "-".

I manually installed both dependent packages, but the mariadb-server install is still looking for these dependent packages with the "-", when it should be an "_".

Is there a way that I can force the install to use the dependent packages, with the different name?

Would it break anything, if I was to use the "--skip-broken" option?

Sounds like you are not using our copy of mariadb to me:

You are misinterpreting the results. mariadb.x86_64 and mariadb(x86-64) are both correct. See yum provides 'mariadb(x86-64)' for example. Your issue is probably some conflicting 3rd party repo, but your yum output snippet does not provide enough detail.

Try rpm -qa | grep -i maria

Never mind, I found the issue.

Prior to trying the MariaDB install, I had installed the MySQL Community Server.

There were remnants of that install that had not been completely removed, and they were causing a conflict.

After removing all traces of the MySQL Community Server install, MariaDB installed correctly.

Thanks for your comments, and have a great week.
