how to uninstall mariadb and re-install mysql ? Mysql install turns into mariadb install
- by Suma
I recently upgraded my centos system via the desktop. mistake!
I had mariadb, phpmyadmin working just fine before - but after the upgrade they stopped.
I frantically googled and tried to follow some tutorials about mariadb * mysql reinstall untill I came to this one:
http://centosforge.com/node/how-replace-mysql-mariadb-centos-6-including-mysql-uninstall-instructions-and-yum-install
I executed this command to remove all of mysql:
yum remove mysql-server mysql-libs mysql-devel mysql*
and then tried to reinstall mysql:
as below - it crashes with errors as follows:
*****************************************************************
[root@localhost ~]# yum install mysql-server mysql mysql-devel
*****************************************************************

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@localhost ~]
If I now try to install libssl.10, i get asked to install glibc libraries. 2.17 and 2.7 -
other discussions have said to stay clear of the as this will explode my system - I tried download 2.17 and it's huge - took ages to unzip.
Could someone please help me to completelty remove maraidb and install mysql - so that I don't get the above errors and pushed over to mariadb when I run:
yum install mysql-server mysql mysql-devel
There are tons of material on how to install mariadb - but none i found so far that plainly explains how to go backwards to mysql.
