On a RHEL 6.3 server, we are running MySQL 5.1 (not MariaDB, not the Percona patched version, plain old regular MySQL):
$ rpm -qa | egrep -i "percona|maria|mysql" | sort
mysql-5.1.61-4.el6.x86_64
mysql-libs-5.1.61-4.el6.x86_64
mysql-server-5.1.61-4.el6.x86_64
percona-toolkit-2.1.8-1.noarch
percona-xtrabackup-2.0.5-499.rhel6.x86_64
perl-DBD-MySQL-4.013-3.el6.x86_64
$
We went to do a system update today, and had a problem with dependencies, because the Percona repository wants to replace mysql-libs with Percona’s shared libraries. How rude!
# yum update mysql-libs
