Dovecot on CentOS4 + MySQL5 breaks yum

[Vince]

Hi,

I've noticed on a handful of machines that a dovecot RPM has been pushed to the servers by cPanel, even though we have not elected to use dovecot at all.

This is having the unfortunate side-effect of breaking yum updates, as the dovecot RPM has a dependency for the MySQL4 RPM's, and we're using MySQL5.

Why is cPanel pushing this RPM to machines that haven't requested it, especially considering that it breaks entirely any CentOS4 machine that is running MySQL5?

Thanks,
Vince.
