Recently I removed some MariaDB packages in order to install a new version from an RPM file.



yum remove mariadb mariadb-server mariadb-libs


And as part of the process yum also removed MySQL-python package. Why did it do this? I searched online to see which MariaDB package has MySQL-python as a dependency but could not locate this information clearly.

I did reinstall the MySQL-python package but when installing with yum, it says it has no dependencies.

It is very likely that MySQL-python (and perl-DBD-MySQL) has MariaDB client libraries as dependencies. These packages are useless (unusable) without MySQL/MariaDB client libraries.



I can't test this, but installing MySQL-python again would probably at least reinstall mariadb-libs.

  • I actually did re-install MySQL-python package and it has no dependencies. I will update my question with this information.

  • @MattB I wonder... Do you have another MySQL client library package installed?
