Description
yum-plugin-replace provides for swapping conflicting packages, either different ones or the same, but for different arches. Thus, it is possible to:
yum replace mysql --replace-with mysql51
without uninstalling the first package and then installing the replacement. This also works for packages which are "locked" by dependencies.

Presently, the only alternative to this is to use the yum shell to uninstall and then install, and even that is not as robust as yum-plugin-replace.
