I do the following generally and it works fine:

rpm --nodeps -e mysql-libs
yum install 'Percona-Server-*55' percona-toolkit xtrabackup
yum install Percona-Server-55-debuginfo

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.
