that seems to be caused by irregular updates by package updater and/or
yum-updatesd running in the background.
you can always just 'yum clean cache' or 'yum clean all' to start over
which will solve this issue

is mysqld installed?
if 'rpm -q mysql-server' doesn't confirm that it's installed on your
computer, install it (yum install mysql-server)
otherwise, start it up
service mysqld start
chkconfig mysqld on # if you want it to start on each startup

been 'lots of discussion on this the last few days.
If you don't think those bug reports are the same as yours, you should
create a new one.
