MySQL keeps updating

[FvdM]

Everytime my server runs upcp (daily), it keeps updating mysql-shared.
Here's what I get:

MySQL Setup Script Version 6.1
Fetching version information from http://updates.cpanel.net/mysqlinstall/version (STABLE)....Done
This is the MySQL 4.1.13 installer release number 0 for platform
MySQL-shared is out of date (MySQL-shared-4.0.25-0
MySQL-shared-4.1.14-0
MySQL-shared-4.1.13-0 != MySQL-shared-4.1.13-0)
MySQL-shared is out of date (MySQL-shared-4.0.25-0
MySQL-shared-4.1.14-0
MySQL-shared-4.1.13-0 != MySQL-shared-4.1.13-0)
Using newyum support...
Setting up Install Process

And then it starts with selecting mirrors and the installation of MySQL 4.1.13

I have tried fixmysql, mysqlup --force, upcp --force, re-installation of MySQL, rebooting and running these scripts again, but nothing seems to fix this issue.

WHM tells me I have 'mysql 4.1.13-standard' installed and it working fine.

Does someone know what's causing this?

Looks like you have some old 4.0.25 MySQL rpms installed - try removing those and then running /scripts/mysqlup --force - be sure to backup your /var/lib/mysql beforehand just incase.

That did the trick, thanks a lot

I'm running mySQL 4.0.25, which as far as I can tell is a pretty old version. I know cPanel is supposed to manage the update, and I thought that this was the latest that cPanel supported until I came across this thread.

So what's the deal: should I be running a newer version? why hasn't it updated? and can you please explain how to remove the old rpms for me to upgrade? Thanks.

Have you set Tweak Settings > MySQL to 4.0 or 4.1?

[elleryjh]

ah, didnt see that there. Any reason NOT to upgrade to 4.1?

Follow the instructions given in that page to upgrade.
