rpm build conflicts with libdbi-dbd-mysql

[Hakan Küçükyılmaz]

Building rpm packages on CentOS 32-bit and 64-bit ends up conflicting with libdbi-dbd-mysql package.

How to repeat:
Build rpm packages as described hers:
    http://askmonty.org/wiki/index.php/BuildingMariaDB#Building_CentOS_rpm_package

Now, If one wants to run sql-bench/run-all-tests, then we need the Perl DBD::MySQL package. Thus:
yum install libdbi-dbd-mysql

After that try to install the MariaDB rpm packages:
[hakan@CentOS-53-x86 i386]$ ls
MariaDB-OurDelta-client-5.1.38-83.el5.i386.rpm MariaDB-OurDelta-shared-5.1.38-83.el5.i386.rpm
MariaDB-OurDelta-devel-5.1.38-83.el5.i386.rpm MariaDB-OurDelta-test-5.1.38-83.el5.i386.rpm
MariaDB-OurDelta-server-5.1.38-83.el5.i386.rpm
[hakan@CentOS-53-x86 i386]$ rpm -Uvh *.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libmysqlclient.so.15 is needed by (installed) perl-DBD-MySQL-3.0007-2.el5.i386
        libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15) is needed by (installed) perl-DBD-MySQL-3.0007-2.el5.i386

It's not a conflict but an unresolved dependency.
5.1 uses libmysqlclient.so.16 whereas 5.0 uses .so.15 and that's what the perl driver was linked with.
We're working on packages that'll resolve this dependency, e.g. provide backward compatibility.
