+I said I would need help :\
+
+I have these 12 mysql packages installed:-
+php-mysql-5.3.8-2.mga2
+perl-DBD-mysql-4.20.0-1.mga2
+mysql-common-core-5.5.15-2.mga2
+lib64mysqlservices-5.5.15-2.mga2
+lib64mysqld0-5.5.15-2.mga2
+mysql-client-5.5.15-2.mga2
+mysql-core-5.5.15-2.mga2
+qt4-database-plugin-mysql-4.7.4-5.mga2
+mysql-5.5.15-2.mga2
+lib64mysql18-5.5.15-2.mga2
+mysql-common-5.5.15-2.mga2
+lib64mysql-devel-5.5.15-2.mga2
+
+Yet with testing enabled I see :-
+[baz at jackodesktop ~]$ urpmq mariadb -a
+mariadb
+
+and...
+
+[baz at jackodesktop ~]$ urpmq --provides mariadb
+mysql
+adt_null.so()(64bit)
+auth_socket.so()(64bit)
+auth_test_plugin.so()(64bit)
+dialog.so()(64bit)
+dialog_examples.so()(64bit)
+ha_archive.so()(64bit)
+ha_blackhole.so()(64bit)
+ha_federated.so()(64bit)
+ha_federatedx.so()(64bit)
+ha_innodb.so()(64bit)
+ha_oqgraph.so()(64bit)
+ha_sphinx.so()(64bit)
+mypluglib.so()(64bit)
+mysql_clear_password.so()(64bit)
+qa_auth_client.so()(64bit)
+qa_auth_interface.so()(64bit)
+qa_auth_server.so()(64bit)
+semisync_master.so()(64bit)
+semisync_slave.so()(64bit)
+mariadb[== 5.5.15-0.4.mga2]
+mariadb(x86-64)[== 5.5.15-0.4.mga2]
+[baz at jackodesktop ~]$
+
+So are you saying to remove all 12 or just "mysql" ?
+If I remove all 12 where do the replacements come from?
+Just a bit confused :\
+Maybe I'm missing something obvious  ;)
