Re: [SLUG] dependency hell for "mysql" redhat 8

[Mike MacCana <mikem@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Its in the mysql package.

There's no such thing as dependency hell.

1. up2date --whatprovides libmysqlclient
2. up2date -i (whatever you're installing)
3. Install MySQL from redhat-config-packages
4. Install yum. yum provides libmysqlclient
5. Install apt. apt-cache search libmysqlclient
