[Yum] yum breaks mysql

[Ian Kaufman]

This is not a YUM issue per se, but rather how the mysql
RPM was installed.

Is there a mysqld running right now? Have you rebooted?
The error is usually seen when the old daemon is still
running. Also, the start/stop scripts might have changed
enough that the new script cannot stop the old daemon, or
the old script cannot start the new one.

I've been through similar issues before.
