obsoleted package in dependencies

[madcrokodile]

Package sysbench-1.0.11-1.el6.x86_64 requires obsoleted package libmysqlclient_r.so.16.
CentOS 6.8

[akopytov]

I tried installing sysbench-1.0.11-1.el6.x86_64 in a CentOS 6.9 Docker image and did not hit any issues:

$ docker pull centos:6
$ docker run -it centos:6 /bin/bash
# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.9 (Final)
# curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/akopytov/sysbench/script.rpm.sh | bash
Detected operating system as centos/6.
...
The repository is setup! You can now install packages.
# yum -y install sysbench

@aryabchenko Is there a workaround for your case? Trying to understand what can be done on my side to fix it.
