Also, just a small note… the reason you had two 'mysql' packages installed is likely because one was i386 and the other x86_64. You won't have this problem with IUS packages because we do not include i386 packages in the x86_64 repo. That said, you could have verified this by:
# rpm -q --queryformat="%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" mysql
mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.x86_64
mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.i386
Without the query format, the '%{arch}' is not displayed and so both packages
look the same. I think this changed to include the '%{arch}' in later versions
of RHEL 5+. If you prefer to only install x86_64 packages you can add the
following to the [main] section of your /etc/yum.conf:
exactarch=1
multilib_policy=best
This means that when you say, "yum install mysql" it will only install the
x86_64 version. Also, to remove multiple packages with rpm you could have done
the following as well:
# rpm -e mysql --allmatches
Just FYI.
