Re: [CentOS] mysqld breaks yum, help?

He installed some software that affects threading and it's likely other things (that he didn't notice yet) are also affected. It's still weird, though. If you do not overwrite any base files you won't hit this problem.

Woah.

Well, here's where I disagree What's non standard in my install other than PHP? Furthermore, uninstalling PHP does nothing?

I submit yum.log for further scrutiny. Note the part where I removed PHP and the problem still persisted.
