I have a database server with MariaDB 5.5.52:

[root@sql01 ~]# yum list installed|grep 5.5.52-1.el7
Repodata is over 2 weeks old. Install yum-cron? Or run: yum makecache fast
mariadb.x86_64 1:5.5.52-1.el7 @base
mariadb-libs.x86_64 1:5.5.52-1.el7 @CentOS
mariadb-server.x86_64 1:5.5.52-1.el7 @base
[root@sql01 ~]# mysql -V
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.52-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1

I need to install that very same version on a new server, but MariaDB gets shipped as MariaDB 5.5.59 for new installs. So, I got an RPM and installed it as follows:

wget http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/archive.mariadb.org/mariadb-5.5.52/yum/centos7-amd64/rpms/MariaDB-5.5.52-centos7-x86_64-server.rpm
yum install MariaDB-5.5.52-centos7-x86_64-server.rpm

Even though this is an RPM for 5.5.52, 5.5.59 gets installed:

[root@db01 ~]# yum list installed|grep 5.5.52-1.el7
MariaDB-server.x86_64 5.5.52-1.el7.centos installed
[root@db01 ~]# mysql -V
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.59-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1

Any idea why it's installing 5.5.59?

More interesting output:

[root@db01 ~]# rpm -qf `which mysql`
MariaDB-client-5.5.59-1.el7.centos.x86_64
[root@db01 ~]# rpm -qa | fgrep 5.5.59
MariaDB-client-5.5.59-1.el7.centos.x86_64
MariaDB-common-5.5.59-1.el7.centos.x86_64

After reviewing the output from the requested commands, it seems you have

MariaDB-client-5.5.59-1.el7.centos.x86_64 and
MariaDB-common-5.5.59-1.el7.centos.x86_64

installed, which you would need to downgrade. How to do this varies depending on your system, but please try

yum downgrade MariaDB-client-5.5.52-1 MariaDB-common-5.5.52-1

If that does not work, please try removing these packages (I am assuming here you can always restore them later) and re-installing the others:

rpm -e MariaDB-client-5.5.59-1 MariaDB-common-5.5.59-1

and then

yum reinstall mariadb

(and possibly the other two, let us know)
