mysql55 does not 'add' to check config or restart service

[MikeG]

While a package should not automatically enable a service to chkconfig, it should make it available to chkconfig. It would also seemingly make sense to restart the upgraded service:

rpm -Uvh
http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/ius-release-1.0-6.ius.el5.noarch.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
yum install yum-plugin-replace
yum install mysql-server
service mysqld start # do not touch chkconfig

# yum replace mysql --replace-with mysql55
Loaded plugins: replace, rhnplugin, security
Replacing packages takes time, please be patient...

WARNING: Unable to resolve all providers: ['config(mysql)',
'libmysqlclient.so.15()(64bit)',
'libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15)(64bit)',
'libmysqlclient_r.so.15()(64bit)',
'libmysqlclient_r.so.15(libmysqlclient_15)(64bit)',
'config(mysql-server)']

This may be normal depending on the package. Continue? [y/N]

This does not seem to be the case if you upgrade to mysql55 manually instead of using yum-plugin-replace:

[root@mysql55 ~]# rpm -e --nodeps mysql mysql-server
