Upgrading to Version in Linux using RPM.

[da644]

Hi.

I've downloaded MySQL 4 from the MySQL website and would like to install it on my Linux box which is currently running version 3.23.41. I typed:

rpm -i MySQL-4.0.1-2.i386.rpm

and got the following response:

error: failed dependencies:
MySQL conflicts with mysql-3.23.41-1
MySQL-server conflicts with mysql-server-3.23.41-1

How do I install it over the top of this version? I can't find anything in the manual about how to do this.

Thanks

Best Regards

Andrew.

man rpm
