That's a very  good catch! It's true I installed mysql myself with the rpm
provided by mysql.org. I couldn't figure out that this kind of problem has
something to do with this.

Removing mysql 4.xx solved the problem and I could install with yum as
expected.

It would be nice to have and play with it, however I guess I can wait for
Fedora to include it.
