Thanks to all for your assistance. I was able to do a replace of mysql-libs and it upgraded/replaced mysql-server as well.
One concern: I read, I think on the IUS forum, that mysql-server 5.5.25-1 has a bug and some went back to 5.5.24. From the dev.mysql.com site: "MySQL 5.5.25 is superseded by MySQL 5.5.25a due to a regression bug that can cause excessive disk usage (for details, see Bug #65745). Current users of 5.5.25: Upgrade to 5.5.25a. Users contemplating an upgrade to 5.5.25: Upgrade to 5.5.25a instead."
