Thank you for the report. Some notes before continuing: * You are reporting an issue with a package incompatibility with third party packages, which we do not manage * You are referring to an older package that we do not ship in 9.7 (4.050-13.el9) - we only ship the latest packages - the previous version you are referring to was superseded between 9.6 and 9.7 * 4.053-1.el9 is the latest shipped by RHEL and Rocky Linux 9 ``` libc.so.6()(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.34)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) libmysqlclient.so.21()(64bit) libmysqlclient.so.21(libmysqlclient_21.0)(64bit) libperl.so.5.32()(64bit) perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.32.1) perl(:VERSION) >= 5.8.0 perl(Carp) perl(DBD::mysql) perl(DBI) perl(DBI::Const::GetInfoType) perl(DynaLoader) perl(strict) perl(warnings) rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadIsZstd) <= 5.4.18-1 rtld(GNU_HASH) Name : perl-DBD-MySQL Version : 4.053 Release : 1.el9 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: (not installed) Group : Unspecified Size : 372791 License : GPL+ or Artistic Signature : RSA/SHA256, Wed Apr 23 10:45:57 2025, Key ID 199e2f91fd431d51 Source RPM : perl-DBD-MySQL-4.053-1.el9.src.rpm Build Date : Tue Apr 22 08:05:29 2025 Build Host : x86-64-05.build.eng.rdu2.redhat.com Packager : Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> Vendor : Red Hat, Inc.

They need to rebuild against RHEL 9.7 (or derivative like ours) or CentOS Stream 9 to prepare for 9.8. |

Hello Louis, Thanks a lot for the quick and clear explanation. Understood — and thank you for clarifying that both Rocky 9.7 and RHEL 9.7 ship the same perl-DBD-MySQL 4.053 build and that the libmysqlclient.so.21 dependency originates from the upstream RHEL package. For clarity: The RHEL system I tested was a freshly provisioned RHEL 9 VM on AWS and fully updated at the time of testing, and it still had the older perl-DBD-MySQL-4.050-13.el9 package available and selected by dnf. So it may be that this older build is still present in some RHEL repositories or channels, which explains the different dependency resolution I observed. I agree that this is effectively an incompatibility between current RHEL 9.x packaging and the third-party Percona packages (which obsolete mysql-libs), and I will follow up with Percona on their side. Thanks again for the fast and detailed feedback. |
