php-common = 5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 missing dependency

[jorge ceballos]

Hi,

Running yum update shows a lot of packages needed to be updated but at the end it shows "missing dependency php-common = 5.1.6-23.2.el5_3" for several of them.
I'm running plesk 9.2.2 on Centos5 64 .
Have seen some solutions like uninstalling php-common and reinstalling but it would also uninstall most PSA modules so its out of the question.
I may get a copy of this php-common in another repo but I'm afraid it may break Plesk.

Currently my repos are the ones set by The Planet:
* epel: mirrors.tummy.com
* base: mirror.skiplink.com
* updates: www.cyberuse.com
* addons: mirror.anl.gov
* extras: centos.corenetworks.net

Any idea anyone?

Saludos,

Hello,

Actually Parallels Plesk Panel (PP) uses its own PHP library and reinstalling PHP will not affect PP.
Also you can use the following command in order to remove single package:

rpm -e --nodeps --justdb <package_name>

You can find more information on the RPM commands in the following article:

Yeah dont ever do that

php-common is just an internal alias for the package, a good rule of thumb is to use "yum upgrade" instead of "yum update". This honors the "Obsoletes" tag used to expire an old outdated package name, which is probably whats going on here.

What happens when you just run "yum upgrade" without specifying any package names?

hi,

thanks for your answers.
Running 'yum upgrade' shows basically the same deps missing:

Found some copies of 'php-common=5.1.6-23.2.el5_3' at: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/sta...php-common-5.1.6-23.2.el5 3.x86_64.rpm.html_

Would you say I may install this copy to solve the dep??

Thanks in advance,

Saludos.
