YUM cannot install php-pgsql: version problem?


I tried installing php-pgsql using yum, but this is what I got
Code:
[root@kbnweb Include]# yum install php-pgsql
Setting up Install Process

Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.26 is needed by package php-pgsql
yum list shows that the currently installed PHP is version 5.1.6:
Code:
php.i386                                 5.1.6-3.el4s1.10       installed       
php-cli.i386                             5.1.6-3.el4s1.10       installed       
php-common.i386                          5.1.6-3.el4s1.10       installed       
php-gd.i386                              5.1.6-3.el4s1.10       installed       
php-mysql.i386                           5.1.6-3.el4s1.10       installed       
php-pdo.i386                             5.1.6-3.el4s1.10       installed
Why did yum ask for PHP 4.3.9-3.26, while the version installed is in fact PHP 5.1.6?

I have downloaded php-pgsql-5.1.6-3.el4s1.10.i386.rpm. Is it safe to force yum to install from the downloaded file instead? What the worst could happen?

It should be safe; The "worst" case should be that you end up doing a "yum remove" and "yum install" again.

Whenever you ask a question please help us help you by telling us what distro, arch, and version you are running. I will guess that you are running RHEL4.? 32bit(correct?). You also did not mention what repos you are using and where you got php5(not in standard RHEL4.X repos).

I'm sory. I'm using CentOS 4.2 32 bit. I don't exactly remember where I downloaded the PHP5 RPM (it was a Googling result), but I'll find out.
