Third party mysql packages conflict or obsolete Red Hat's mariadb-libs

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When attempting to install mariadb-libs, it is obsoleted by third party mysql packages which don't provide the necessary dependencies.

    Note: there are several different versions of third party mysql available that all work in the same manner: community, commercial, embedded, etc.

    ---> Package mariadb-libs.x86_64 1:5.5.64-1.el7 will be installed
    Removing mariadb-libs.x86_64 1:5.5.64-1.el7 - u due to obsoletes from installed mysql-(version)-libs-5.7.22-1.1.el7.x86_64
