perhaps my mind isn't working today.
I'm trying to update a system that hasn't been updated in a while which I believe is CentOS 5.2 but it's possible that it's 5.1. I am pretty sure that it has php installed from CentOS-Extras and when I do yum update, it's stumbling on php

So I queried rpm to see what's installed... # rpm -qa|grep php php-common-5.1.6-15.el5 php-mysql-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pear-Net-Sieve-1.1.5-2.el5.centos php-mcrypt-5.1.6-15.el5.centos.1 php-pear-MDB2-2.4.1-2.el5.centos php-cli-5.1.6-15.el5 php-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pear-Net-SMTP-1.2.10-1.el5.centos php-pear-Date-1.4.7-2.el5.centos php-pear-HTTP-Request-1.4.2-1.el5.centos php-pear-1.4.9-4 php-pear-Mail-Mime-1.4.0-1.el5.centos php-xml-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pecl-memcache-2.2.1-1.el5.centos php-pdo-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pear-Net-Socket-1.0.8-1.el5.centos php-pear-Mail-1.1.14-1.el5.centos php-pear-Net-URL-1.0.15-1.el5.centos php-pear-File-1.2.2-1.el5.centos php-pecl-Fileinfo-1.0.4-3.el5.centos php-pear-DB-1.7.13-1.el5.centos php-ldap-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pear-Auth-SASL-1.0.2-4.el5.centos php-mbstring-5.1.6-15.el5 php-imap-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pear-Log-1.9.13-1.el5.centos
and I suppose I could yum remove php and reinstall but that seems rather drastic, plus, I have horde, etc setup too.
Any suggestions?
---- replying to myself here...
apparently in checking packages one by one, php-mcrypt is required by the Horde packages but is not part of the upstream php packages and so it's an issue but there wasn't any warning about that. So removing it would dependencies should have allowed it to update but it still balked so I downloaded the various php packages from updates and did a yum localinstall which did indeed work and now I'm out a php-mcrypt package (probably not the most important thing anyway).
yum update does seem to pass the initial test and it's presently downloading packages so I've got my fingers crossed.
Obviously 'extras' is a far lower priority than getting out 5.3
