Actually, I didn't download the SRPMs for those other packages at all.
What you're saying makes sense, but it didn't even occur to me since I
assumed I could use just install the rebuilt version of
mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4 and have everything play together nicely.

This should be fun.  If things are indeed busted, I'll find out very
soon.  In that case, I'll be shortly downloading the other SRPMs and
hope that any issues are thus resolved.

Thanks for the heads up.
