In the bit-bucket :(

Upload the .pkg to the RaQ, then ssh in and do:

/usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade /path/to/myfile.pkg

So it will throw out the error (if any) to your shell prompt. That might help get you moving along.

It could be because of a previously failed RPM installation, so do:
rpm -q MySQL
(note the caps, its case sensitive)
And hopefully it will return:
package MySQL is not installed

If it returns something like:
MySQL-3.23.37-1
then the RPM is already in there, so thats why the PKG will fail, remove the old RPM/package first.
