Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 is needed by package php-imap


so it's telling me i'm missing depency php-common, but when i try to yum install php-common, it tells me: "Nothing to do"


anyone know why this is happening? i've installed php-imap on all servers fine except one.. so strange..

thanks in advance!

Can you show

yum list php-common

Sure:

[root@localhost ~]# yum list php-common

How did you install the package that's there? Clearly php-imap needs 5.1.6-23.2, but you already have a later version.

Do you know if you can remove the 5.2.6 version without damaging anything else?

As you can see, you need to remove php-common.x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1
Are you sure want that as a repo?

I'm not sure.. i did yum update.. it updated about 200+ items.. i would assume php-common comes with php when i installed php.. i've no idea how to remove an install w/o damaging the server...

i forgot how to remove that repo.. how do i remove php-common?

Start by posting

yum repolist

I've just removed jasonlitka's

[root@localhost ~]# yum repolist
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading "priorities" plugin
repo id repo name status
addons CentOS-5 - Addons enabled
base CentOS-5 - Base enabled
extras CentOS-5 - Extras enabled
rpmforge Red Hat Enterprise 5 - RPMforge.net - da enabled
updates CentOS-5 - Updates enabled



Here's another one that maybe of use:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa |grep php
php-5.2.6-jason.1
php-pdo-5.2.6-jason.1
php-cli-5.2.6-jason.1
php-mysql-5.2.6-jason.1
php-common-5.2.6-jason.1

works now.. i did this:
rpm -ivh libc-client-2004g-2.2.1.x86_64.rpm (since it was just missing that)
and did yum install php-imap and worked fine :)


thanked for trying :)

I'm not sure where you got those from. The versions in the repos you currently have enabled are all 5.1.26.

Without hitting "yes" (ie cancel rather than proceed) what happens if you try

yum remove php php-pdo php-cli php-mysql php-common

?

You may get a huge list of other packages it wants to remove which indicated trouble. The real question is whether or not you have any apps that rely on the later version of php and its associated packages.

edit - ignore that then
