[SOLVED] Install php-xml fails because php-common is too recent (maybe)

trentham · 08-04-2014, 09:18 AM

I tried install php-xml on CentOS 6.5, PHP 5.4.30 and got the following

Code:

> yum install php-xml

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

On the face of it it seems that it's complaining that php-common is TOO up to date. How do I resolve this issue? I've searched around but similar problems seem to focus round php-common being missing.

I eventually found the package I needed in the 'remi' repository and installed with

Code:

yum --enablerepo remi install php-xml

Now it's all sorted.

Thanks to all who read my question and had a think about it.
