I have some users who have a 64-bit CentOS 4.x install (current), which was installed with @Everything and then some annoying packages strategically removed (mrtg, pegasus*, mailman...) and they have decided they have a need for php5.
So I browsed back through the previous day's CentOS list traffic, and I find an email that sounds suspiciously close to my problem, with advice to check out
http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus/CentOSWebStack
So I have followed those recommendations about the yum-priorities-plugin and now I'm in a deeper hole than I was when I started:
--> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.9 is needed by package php-pear Error: Missing Dependency: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8) is needed by package perl-DBD-Pg Error: Missing Dependency: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8) is needed by package perl-DBD-MySQL
If anyone has any advice about either situation I'd appreciate it but I may have to resort to uninstalling everything and starting again.
Check this out http://www.go2linux.org/selectively-update-from-centos-plus-repository
but what I had to do, was to put the same priority to CentOSPlus, run
yum install perl
and then back the priority to 2 again, and then install the rest of packages I needed.
let me know if that helps.
