The current MariaDB server package is provided by a different vendor (package is not installed) than Monty Program AB. Some files may be installed to different locations, including log files and the service startup script in /etc/init.d/. Upgrading directly from MySQL <unrecognized version package is not installed> to MariaDB 10.0 may not be safe in all cases. A manual dump and restore using mysqldump is recommended. It is important to review the MariaDB manual's Upgrading section for version-specific incompatibilities. A manual upgrade is required. Ensure that you have a complete, working backup of your data and my.cnf files Shut down the MySQL server cleanly Remove the existing MySQL packages. Usually this command will list the packages you should remove: rpm qa | grep -i '^mysql ' You may choose to use 'rpm --nodeps -ev <package-name>' to remove the package which contains the mysqlclient shared library. The library will be reinstalled by the MariaDB-shared package. Install the new MariaDB packages supplied by Monty Program AB Ensure that the MariaDB server is started Run the 'mysql_upgrade' program This is a brief description of the upgrade process. Important details can be found in the MariaDB manual, in the Upgrading section. ****************************************************************** Error in PREIN scriptlet in rpm package MariaDB-server-10.0.10-1.x86_64 error: %pre(MariaDB-server-10.0.10-1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping MariaDB-server-10.0.10-1 Updating : MariaDB-compat 3/10 Updating : MariaDB-shared 4/10 Updating : MariaDB-client 5/10 Cleanup : MariaDB-common 6/10 Cleanup : MariaDB-client 7/10 Cleanup : MariaDB-compat 8/10 Cleanup : MariaDB-shared 9/10 Updated: MariaDB-client.x86_64 0:10.0.10-1 MariaDB-common.x86_64 0:10.0.10-1 MariaDB-compat.x86_64 0:10.0.10-1 MariaDB-shared.x86_64 0:10.0.10-1 Failed: MariaDB-server.x86_64 0:10.0.10-1 Complete!
