221	Add yum-plugin-replace to available yum plugins	Lewis Rosenthal		"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.

Source: https://github.com/iuscommunity/yum-plugin-replace

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."	enhancement	closed	major		yum		high	fixed
