Installing multiple versions of the same package using yum?
I have a server with a weird internal version of MySQL installed and want to install collectd on that node. Unfortunately collectd has a dependency on MySQL and it fails the install because its expecting a certain version of MySQL where as the version of the installed one is a unique internal one. 

Is it possible to install a second mysql version just to get past the yum error? or to make yum think its installed?
