Error:
Problem: package MariaDB-server-10.6.23-1.el8.x86_64 from mariadb requires MariaDB-client >= 10.6.1, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install both MariaDB-client-10.6.21-1.el8.x86_64 from mariadb and MariaDB-client-10.5.29-1.el8.x86_64 from cwp

  - cannot install the best candidate for the job
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Another set of directions from Sandeep (a CWP developer):
https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/23-upgrade-mariadb-1011-in-cwp-centos-7-centos-8-stream-almalinux-78-rockylinux-78/

Did you miss the step of removing your existing MariaDB install (it will preserve your databases) before attempting the upgrade?

fixed

I add flag: --nobest

Code Select Expand

yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client MariaDB-devel MariaDB-shared net-snmp perl-DBD-MySQL -y --nobest

and mariadb was installed correctly

thanks
