Best Answer

I would avoid using rpm and try installing it with yum instead as it tends to resolve conflicts automatically (and more sensibly). Try this:

yum -y install MariaDB-*.rpm

Edit: It might also be useful to run:

yum remove mysql-server mysql-libs mysql-devel mysql*

just for sanity sake.
