Because: 1. They do not allow for multiple installations 2. yum will still remove such installations if it thinks it should 3. frankly, I don't like it where RPMs have different conventions on different distros; not to mention different than deb packages. /var/lib/mysql? /var/run/mysql? @Singer,

I think I have it explained in the post.

Because:
1. They do not allow for multiple installations

2. yum will still remove such installations if it thinks it should

3. frankly, I don't like it where RPMs have different conventions on different distros; not to mention different than deb packages.

/var/lib/mysql?
/var/run/mysql?

I'm not aware of marking non-existent packages as installed. But I'm not an expert on this. Hi Brian,

I could be wrong about this though.
