Thanks for the help, but more problems are now arising :-
rpm -qa | grep mysql reports :-
mysql-3.23.52-3 (after many other MySQL packages were removed)
rpm -e mysql-3.23.52-3 reports :-
error: Failed dependencies:
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed)
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1017-3
rpm -e perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1017-3 reports:-
error: Failed dependencies:
perl-DBD-MySQL is needed by (installed) mysql-3.23.52-3
This appears to me that I am now in a loop. Can anyone advise how to get
out of this loop as my MySQL server
is now inoperable.
Thanks again

Subject: Re: Removing & Installing RPM's
Step 1) Checking RPM database for installed RPMs
Ok this example is taken from my RH7.2 box. If you want to remove the rpms
you first need to know which ones are installed. You do this with the
following command:
[root@intranet root]# rpm -qa |grep mysql
mysql-server-3.23.41-1
mysql-devel-3.23.41-1
mysqlclient9-3.23.22-6
mysql-3.23.41-1
Step 2) Removing RPMs
Then by using the "-e" swith you can erase an rpm:
[root@intranet root]# rpm -e mysql-3.23.41-1
do this for all the mysql rpms
Step 3) Installing RPMs
A new rpm can be installed in different ways, but I always use "-Uhv":
[root@intranet root]# rpm -Uhv mysql-blah.rpm
for more information type in "man rpm"
