Re: Circular dependency with mariadb el7

Hello Guys,

A bit more on this saga , I decided to upgrade to latest mythtv 
mythtv-0.27.4-4.el7.centos.x86_64 and again had incompatibility as per 
last email . This time I decided to remove mariadb-galera-server by 
force . This worked and I was able to update mythtv , which as a 
dependency installed mariadb-server . After I rebooted the machine 
trouble started , mythbackend was dead because mysqld did not start . I 
tried to start mysqld also tried starting mariadb but none of them would 
. So in the end I removed mariadb-server with --nodeps , and force 
installed mariadb-galera-server . After that I was able to start up 
mysqld and mythbackend . So I have ended up with these rpms :

root@htpc /home/mythtv # rpm -qa "mariadb*"
mariadb-5.5.37-1.el7_0.x86_64
mariadb-galera-common-5.5.37-2.el7.x86_64
mariadb-libs-5.5.37-1.el7_0.x86_64
mariadb-galera-server-5.5.37-2.el7.x86_64

Does anyone know where mariadb-galera-server came from , and why we use 
it , also what is mariadb-server  and how come we need it now ?
My guess is that my next myth update will fail as well , so I need to 
get out of this vicious circle .

Best Regards

Milorad
