CentOS 5.4 64bit php-gd issue
 

Hey guys,

Im having a problem when trying to install php-gd. It comes back with missing dependency but when i check, it is installed on the system. At this point im out of ideas after doing a pretty big search on google.

Here is a little more information

[root@MTL1 yum.repos.d]# yum install php-gd
Setting up Install Process
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package php-gd.x86_64 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 for package: php-gd
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
php-gd-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3.x86_64 from base has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 is needed by package php-gd-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3.x86_64 (base)
Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 is needed by package php-gd-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3.x86_64 (base)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@MTL1 yum.repos.d]# yum list php-gd
Available Packages
php-gd.x86_64 5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 base
[root@MTL1 yum.repos.d]# yum list php-common
Installed Packages
php-common.x86_64 5.2.11-2.el5.art installed
[root@MTL1 yum.repos.d]#

to sum up what i did to fix this issue.

The cause of this problem was the mixing of different repos. I removed third-party repos and then did a yum remove php-common and then reinstalled everything that was removed by that command. After that i had no additional problems

Thanks!
