Failed dependency upgrading PHP

[mdafforn]

I am trying to upgrade PHP on my Plesk 8.6 / Cent 4.5 machine, and am getting a failed dependency.

--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: php-common = 5.2.12-1.el4.art for package: php-xml
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.2.12-1.el4.art is needed by package php-xml

Anyone know a good way around this?

I've using the Atomic, and Atomic-testing repos, but still no luck.

when this pops up it usually means you're excluding something in your config.

Sorry for the newb-ish reply, but excluding what in which config?

I'm assuming my yum config, and this is the exclude line:

exclude=kernel* sendmail bind-chroot caching-nameserver bin srptools

I do not know what bin nor srptools would exclude, maybe that is it?

Well, I tried removing all exclusion, that didn't help, any other suggestions?

This is really getting frustrating...

Well, it turns out it was a fairly simple fix that I found.

php-xml wasn't installed, but for some reason yum wasn't adding it automatically.

once I did a yum install php-xml, I could do a yum install php, (and followed the wiki instructions at ART here) and it worked fine.
