Hello,

I have php 5.1.6 ,the latest available with yum and i wanted to upgrade to 5.2.1
I have downloade 5.2.1 run ./configure,make and the checkinstall. When i wanted to install the newly created rpm i got the following errors:

# rpm -ivh php-5.2.1-1.i386.rpm

Is it safe to use the --force option?
just in case this is the output of rpm -qa | grep php on my machine(i thought it would be useful)

rpm -qa | grep php
php-5.1.6-3.4.fc6
php-pear-Date-1.4.7-1.fc6
php-cli-5.1.6-3.4.fc6
php-mbstring-5.1.6-3.4.fc6
php-pear-DB-1.7.6-7.fc6
php-common-5.1.6-3.4.fc6
php-pear-1.4.9-4
php-mysql-5.1.6-3.4.fc6
php-pear-DB-DataObject-1.8.5-2.fc6
php-pear-Validate-0.7.0-1.fc6
php-pear-MDB2-2.4.0-1.fc6
php-pdo-5.1.6-3.4.fc6

So as you can see php,php-cli,php-mbstring and php-mysql are the same version : 5.1.6
If i install JUST php 5.2.1 wouldn't that break the dependencies with the other packages?

Thanks.
