Hi,

I'm currently having a problem installing KDE to CentOS 7.1. Everytime I tried to install the KDE using the command "yum groupinstall 'KDE Plasma Workspaces'", it always ends up with Transaction check error:

It seems there are conflicts from install of mariadb with MySQL server already installed in the system. Please give me some instructions as I searched a lot and didn't find any proper answer yet.

Thank you a lot.

MariaDB is a dropin replacement for MySQL, they are not supposed to co-exist (though Google'ing shows it is possible but not using packages). MySQL55-server would need to be removed - the distro should, I would think, be setup to do this automativcally.

Hi, thank you for the response. But I can't remove MySQL. It's a part of Cpanel/WHM default install. I need KDE for some reasons but remove MySQL Server will cause Cpanel/WHM to be stopped.

The problem is the packaging. You should file a bug to the packagers of the CentOS packages and make them aware of the problem. Unless you want to repackage the KDE packages to use MySQL as well instead of MariaDB yourself.

I'm not sure if this is a CentOS bug or WHM/Cpanel. As the screenshot I provided, it's the MySQL Server for WHM was the conflict. How do you think?

That I don't know, it is IMHO up to the packagers to solve the conflict.

seems you can replace MySQL with MariaDB

I would suggest posting on Cpanel's forum

Thank you a lot for your suggestion. I will try to post on Cpanel forum first, as you suggested. I will post the result here if the problem will be solved.
