The issue I see in the description is that percona-toolkit requires mysql client libs but ends up pulling Percona-Server-51 which introduces conflict. I usually end up installing shared-compat with others.
Problems being:
1. RPM lacks anything like package A replaces package B kind of thing (or is there something similar?), so 'rpm -e --nodeps mysql-libs' required.
2. We can have groups like the ones already present -- 'MySQL Database server' and 'MySQL Database client' so that install hackery can be avoided.
I do the following generally and it works fine:
rpm --nodeps -e mysql-libs Server- *55' percona-toolkit xtrabackup Server- 55-debuginfo
yum install 'Percona-
yum install Percona-
