I'm trying to install Percona Toolkit on the server where there is already mysql-community-server5.5.52 is running. I require pt-table-checksum and pt-table-snc utility, so I ran:

yum install percona-toolkit

I got the following error:

Transaction Check Error: file /etc/my.cnf from install of Percona-Server-shared-51-5.1.73-rel14.12.625.rhel6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mysql-community-server-5.5.54-2.el6.x86_64

My setup is:

  • OS: CentOS release 6.8
  • Mysql: mysql-community-server-5.5.54-2.el6.x86_64
  • Percona Toolkit: 3.0.2

  • What is your [actual question](https://serverfault.com/help/how-to-ask)? This sounds a lot like a) you need to pick which DB to use, and b) like you could solve this step of the issue by simply doing a `mv /etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf.community_server_config`. – iwaseatenbyagrue Apr 06 '17 at 16:17

Not sure if it helps but digitalocean.com has a tutorial on replacing MySQL with Percona.

  • Thanks for the information, but we already have mysql community service installed but I want to install percona toolkit (for using pt-table-sync and pt_table_checksum) without breaking my mysql-server. How can it be done??? – user3637899 Apr 06 '17 at 05:31
  • maybe this link can help (it is a bit old - dated 2013)... https://www.percona.com/blog/2013/02/21/solving-rpm-installation-conflicts-in-centos-5-and-centos-6/ – RMathis Apr 06 '17 at 14:24
