Hello List,

I have a regular install of centos 4.4 i386 (lately updated to 4.5), a new application needs mysql > 5.0.x

The natural way to do this was: yum --enablerepo=centosplus update mysql

However, after all the dependency / transaction checks.. i get this..

Transaction Check Error: file /etc/php.ini from install of php-common-5.1.6-3.el4s1.5 conflicts with file from package php-4.3.9-3.22.5

Now i did manage to solve the problem, which looked pretty straight-forward 'yum --enablerepo=centosplus update mysql php' (note: added php).. but shouldn't the dependency checker be taking care of this?

I thought it did way back when I was playing with it. Maybe it broke in a later update.
