Hello,

A new question has been asked in "Installing MariaDB RPM Files" by peter-mclarty:
--------------------------------
Does anyone have a clever solution to installing 5.5.36 when compat and common rpms have a circular dependency, Since the contents appear to be needed do we need them packaged separately? 
[root@faws01_dbs itadmin]# yum install MariaDB-5.5.36-centos6-x86_64-compat.rpm
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager
Updating certificate-based repositories.
Setting up Install Process
Examining MariaDB-5.5.36-centos6-x86_64-compat.rpm: MariaDB-compat-5.5.36-1.el6.x86_64
Marking MariaDB-5.5.36-centos6-x86_64-compat.rpm to be installed
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package MariaDB-compat.x86_64 0:5.5.36-1.el6 will be installed
--> Processing Dependency: MariaDB-common for package: MariaDB-compat-5.5.36-1.el6.x86_64
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: MariaDB-compat-5.5.36-1.el6.x86_64 (/MariaDB-5.5.36-centos6-x86_64-compat)
           Requires: MariaDB-common
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

As you can see one is dependent on the other, that is not a smart approach

Any thoughts
