Unless you have an old version installed, this is the wrong way to install
it. -Uvh is for upgrading a package. -ivh is for installing a new package.

This should fix you.
rpm -qil mysql-3.21.26-1.i386.rpm
Then go and delete all the files, where ever they be.
After that a simple rpm -ivh mysql-3.21.26-1.i386.rpm MIGHT not work, it
might crap out and say it's already installed because of your upgrade
mistake.....So rpm -ivh --force mysql-3.21.26-1.i386.rpm Should put it in
place for ya. Then again, maybe even try forcing it before taking the time
to remove all the files....I guess it should overwrite the old ones.
Good luck.
