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?
