What is the most recent MySQL package that allows Crontab and Postfix to work - 5.1?

The newest version including the compatibility libraries is 5.5.29:

I'll object to your close request because the comment you're going to accept (your own one, https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27975507/Centos-6-3-MySQL-5-5-Conflict-when-installing-crontab.html?anchorAnswerId=38714614#a38714614 ) is not a solution, but a follow-up question.

Sorry, _alias99,

but I think you misunderstood the link I posted in my objection.

This link was meant to point you to the comment which the asker was going to accept (probably) erroneously.

If I'm supposed to recommend accepting an answer I'd of course suggest this one (my answer):

Thankyou woolmilkporc,

_alias99 please stop the auto closure procedure.

I had only meant to post a comment and not close the case.
Will try and install http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.5.html#downloads client to determine if it fixes the problem. It not only prevents install of cron but also a conflict when installing postfix. I would prefer not to role back to MySQL 5.1 but need bot cron and postfix installed and running.

Woolmilkporc,

The installation of the 5.5.29 Shared compatibility libraries has solved the problem. i have been able to install crontab and postfix. I downloaded MySQL 5.5.29 in preparation but have not found a need to update yet.

I am testing the system as is to ensure no further issues.

Thanks for your help.

Masasomi.
