Until recently, I had only updated via the Plesk Control Panel.

I needed to update PHP for compatibility with a script. When that went OK, I got braver and updated MySQL. I finally bit the bullet and updated everything. So, I've run the following commands:

yum update php
yum update mysql
yum update

The last step hits a snag with the following error:

Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/bin/mysqldumpslow from install of mysql-server-5.0.83-1.el5.art.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mysql-5.0.22-2.2.el5_1.1.x86_64

I excluded that package and was able to run update to completion. However, I'm still stuck with this one remaining package conflict.

I suspect that the problem is either due to packages installed out of order or something Plesk-specific.

Any ideas?

try "yum upgrade", this will honor the obsoletes tag. By default "update" does not

do you have any excludes on mysql in your config? Try:

yum --disableexcludes upgrade
