yum instructions for CentOS 6

http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/installation.html

I had to run "yum install Percona-Server-shared-compat" before "yum install Percona-Server-client-55 Percona-Server-server-55" since I kept getting the below errors.

The problem here is different from the shared-compat issue.

mysql-libs is a combination of our Percona-Server-server and Percona-Server-shared.

However, this conflict is only marked in Percona-Server-shared but not in Percona-Server-server.

The Percona Server install need to conflict with mysql-libs. Percona-Server-server-5* is the package that triggers the error, however having Percona-Server-shared-5* conflict would also serve this purpose since it's required for Percona-Server-server-5*.

Trying to make Percona-Server-server-5* with stock mysql-libs, for example by moving the errmsg.sys files to Percona-Server-shared-5* and just depending on mysql-libs won't work because of the different versions of the messages that would appear.
