Error installing package

Question

In my CentOS Stream Linux 9 when I run the command:

yum install perl-DBD-MySQL

It gives me an error:

I have done

yum install perl-DBD-MySQL --enablerepo=*

But got no luck!

What else can I do? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You're using the mainline "MariaDB" continuation of the original free MySQL source code, not Oracle's "MySQL (trademark)" fork.

So, the package you need to install is perl-DBD-MariaDB instead of perl-DBD-MySQL. The functionality is identical, just that it works with both MariaDB and MySQL instead of just the older "pre-oracle" MySQL parts.
