Topic: Adding Remi repo on Scientific Linux 5.5

I am trying to set up the Remi repo on Scientific Linux 5.5 (x86_64).

The mirrorlist (http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/5/remi/mirror) returns only timeouts, because "$releasever" is replaced by "5.5", whereas repositories just contain "5", e.g.
 

h ttp://remi.schlundtech.de/enterprise/5.5/remi/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: (Errno 14) HTTP Error 404: Not Found

If I use "h ttp://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/5/remi/$basearch/ " instead, it works fine at first, until installation fails with multiple "Transaction check errors", e.g.:
 

file /etc/my.cnf from install of mysql-libs-5.5.39-1.el5.remi.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mysql-5.0.95-5.el5_9.i386


Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Would 5.5 require its own rpms, which Remo repo does not offer? Or should 5 rpms work?

Best wishes,
Cord

Re: Adding Remi repo on Scientific Linux 5.5

Some answer in the FAQ: http://blog.famillecollet.com/pages/English-FAQ


And 5.5 is really outdated. Lastest version is 5.10.

Laptop:  Fedora 38 + rpmfusion + remi (SCL only)
x86_64 builder: Fedora 39 + rpmfusion + remi-test
aarch64 builder: RHEL 9 with EPEL
Hosting Server: CentOS 8 Stream with EPEL, rpmfusion, remi

Re: Adding Remi repo on Scientific Linux 5.5

Thank you for the fast answer. Do you refer to the "Conflict between i386 and x86_64 packages" in the FAQ? I understand we should update to the current release of Scientific Linux?

Best wishes,
