+    # Also do remove mysql-libs-5.xxx
+    # We'll not be removing other packages that depend on mysql-lib as we'll be reinstalling a newer version of mysql-lib
+    yum -y remove mysql mysql-server mysql-devel
+    rpm -qa mysql-lib*
+    
+    # Insert package version number at xxx
+    rpm -e --nodeps mysql-libs-5.xxx
