(And many more dependencies errors)

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


How can I solve this issue?

Thanks

Why are you using the PHP packages from the Remi repository instead of the ones profied by by Plesk? The great thing about the Plesk PHP packages is that they install to the /opt/plesk/php directory so you can enable multiple PHP versions and pick which PHP version you want at will.

My suggestion would be to remove the remi PHP packages and get the base PHP back to stock. Then install the PHP versions you want using the Plesk installer.

I tried to upgrade php first to the version 7 without the remi repository but it was not possible. I have php 7.1 enabled via the plesk interface for all my domains, but by the cli I still see the php version is the 5.6.30. I need to upgrade to php 7.1 (by the cli) because i'm trying to have Apcu in the server so I can use it within Wordpress plugin W3 total Cache. When I tried to install Apcu via the cli, it showed the message I need to have php 7 in order to install Apcu. Not sure if it's because Centos 7, I have Centos 6.8/onyx/php 5.6.30 in another server and I was able to install apcu there with no problem, but with Centos 7, php 7 looks like mandatory for Apcu to be installed.

Anyway how can I roll this back the: the remi PHP packages without hurting the Plesk Onyx installation and upgrade to php 7.1 by the cli?

Thanks
