Hi Folks, 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. I find on the web this instruction for doing this: http://www.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt So I try to do this, and I get: # rpm -e php-domxml # yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade php* [...] --> Processing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.9 for package: php-pear --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.9 is needed by package php-pear So I try to remove this blocking package: # rpm -e php-pear error: Failed dependencies: php-pear is needed by (installed) php-4.3.9-3.22.9.x86_64 I try to get cute: # rpm -e --force php-pear rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced (Heh.) So I can't be the first person to go down this road. Can anyone provide a hint as to how to get out of the hole I've dug for myself? Thanks for your time. -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | dave at xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
