Hi All,

I get this issue with my AIX 7.3 TL 0 hosts where we have Mariadb installed when trying an update.

# dnf update -y
AIX generic repository                                                                                                                        147 kB/s | 3.0 kB     00:00
AIX noarch repository                                                                                                                          48 kB/s | 3.0 kB     00:00
AIX 7.3 specific repository                                                                                                                    88 kB/s | 3.0 kB     00:00
MM PPC specific repository                                                                                                               42 kB/s | 3.0 kB     00:00

Error:
 Problem: package mysql-config-1.0-3.noarch conflicts with mariadb-server < 3:10.5 provided by mariadb-server-3:10.4.26-1.ppc
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package mysql-config-1.0-1.noarch
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package mariadb-server-3:10.4.26-1.ppc
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

My package list

mariadb-common-10.4.26-1.ppc
mariadb-errmsg-10.4.26-1.ppc
mariadb-connector-c-3.3.4-1.ppc
mariadb-backup-10.4.26-1.ppc
mariadb-gssapi-server-10.4.26-1.ppc
mariadb-server-utils-10.4.26-1.ppc
mariadb-server-10.4.26-1.ppc
mariadb-10.4.26-1.ppc
mysql-config-1.0-1.noarch

Any Thoughts on why. 

Hi Paul,

You're facing this issue from Mariadb package. That is because we cannot simple update Mariadb from "dnf update" command.
To update Mariadb please follow the steps mentioned here -> Mariadb Upgrade
The above mentioned issue has been addressed in the steps given.

Thank you,
