I could force the upgrade, but i don't want to break anything. Any suggestions to upgrade it?, (without exporting - installing mysql.com rpms - reimporting, i would like to use suse' rpms)

Why not use the mysql SuSE RPMs? Building a SuSE RPM is not black magic - I'm sure the mysql folks are pretty well versed in the procedure :-)

SuSE (as any other distro) usually customizes most of its packages, but leaving that aside, installing the rpms from mysql would be the same as installing the rpms from 9.3, breaking the dependencies of some packages, basically due to "mysql-shared".

I've always found the latest postgresql version at projects directory on suse ftp server, it's strange that they don't package new version of mysql.

Mmm, i realized that the only package needed by others is mysql-shared (from my reply :), i just installed mysql and mysql-client from 9.3 and kept the original mysql-shared, and it looks like doesn't have any problem, and the dependencies wheren't broken.

rpm -qa | grep -E ^mysql mysql-4.1.10a-3.2 mysql-shared-4.0.21-4.2 mysql-client-4.1.10a-3

Thanks for your reply Per CI.-
