yum, not dnf?

I think you are caught in a fork conflict.  Both are a fork of mysql,
and I vaguely recall there was a disagreement about the direction of
mariadb that led to the creation of community-mysql.  Or maybe
it was with the actual mysql, at Oracle now.  It's kind of
like the python2 / python3 imbroglio.  Eventually they will co-exist, or
one will triumph, but until then, users are stuck.
