Better approach would be to use the update switch. rpm -Uvh

Seems that you have an earlier version of mysql installed. This is
telling you that you have mysql 3.23.22-6 installed, and that you're
replacing files that it needs. Problem might be solved using the update
switch as I listed above to do the update.

Redhat's packages are rarely named just the application name. You can see
what the exact package name is by issuing the following command:
rpm -qa|grep -i mysql
This will report back to you any packages containing the word mysql (upper
or lower case) in the package name. Then you rpm -e <full-package-name>
to uninstall it.
