I’ve started using Percona’s version of MySQL 5.1 and have run into a few issues trying to get other tools such as mytop or maatkit to install but have been having problems with RPM dependency’s. I found the solution on this guy’s blog. Basically, if you install the MySQL-client-percona, MySQL-percona, MySQL-server-percona, MySQL-shared-percona and Percona-XtraDB, instead of installing MySQL-shared-percona, you should download and force upgrade (rpm -Uvh –force packagename) the MySQL-shared-compat library directly from MySQL. Just make sure you get the same version from MySQL that you’re using of the Percona MySQL.

Hi, I’m the guy who wrote that. They’ve made some solid progress on this, setup their own yum repo, put out a -release.rpm, and built their own -compat package. Unfortunately its still failing to install clean, so you have to force it… but ahh… at least you’re getting it all from one place now.
