[Yum] php-mysql is not yummy

[Troy Dawson]

Well, yum's just doing what it's supposed to.

You are trying to install a package that was packaged for mysql 4.x. 
There could be a lot of reason's why that package will or won't work 
with the MySQL you have installed.

But since the package php-mysql is insisting that it get a certain 
version of mysql, yum is just doing what it's told.
