Hello everyone

I have followed the Zenoss Core Installation Guide version 01-012013-4.2-v09 and I have installed the latest MySQL-client rpm version 5.6.10-1 and I get the following error:

Error: Package: zenoss-4.2.3-1695.el6.x86_64 (/zenoss_core-4.2.3.el6.x86_64)
           Requires: mysql-client >= 5.5.13
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


I have tried using --skip-broken which doesn't work, I have tried various combinations of MySQL-client and MySQL-server 5.6 and 5.5.

Is there a magic combination of package versions to install?  The exact version suggested in the pdf ( MySQL-client-5.5.28-1.linux2.6.x86_64.rpm ) doesn't exist anymore at mysql.com and the only 5.5 version available is 5.5.30-1 which doesn't work with the zenoss_core-4.2.3.el6.x86_64.rpm .

There is no mysql-client rpm (all lowercase) at any repository (epel, rpmforge) or even rpmfind.net so I am pretty stumped at this point how so many of you managed to install zenoss-core at all.  Is it because I am doing the manual install and the auto-install works better?

Thanks for any leads you can give me at this point...

Use the community script to do the install, it'll grab the correct MySQL.

If like me, you still want to do a manual installation then you can download them from http://wiki.zenoss.org/download/core/mysql/ http://wiki.zenoss.org/download/core/mysql/

In my opinion Zenoss dev team should consider solving this problem before we run into trouble. Someday a nasty unforeseen vulnerability could be discovered and we will find ourselves in un uncomfortable position beiong forced to use an unpatched version of MySQL which is a no-go on most corporate networks. It is OK to stay with MySQL v5.5 but being locked into 5.5.27 or earlier is simply looking for trouble.
