Hi Folks,
I have some users who have a 64-bit CentOS 4.x install (current),
which was installed with @Everything and then some annoying packages
strategically removed (mrtg, pegasus*, mailman...) and they have
decided they have a need for php5.
I find on the web this instruction for doing this:
http://www.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt
So I try to do this, and I get:
# rpm -e php-domxml
# yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade php*
[...]
--> Processing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.9 for package: php-pear
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.9 is needed by package php-pear
So I try to remove this blocking package:
# rpm -e php-pear
error: Failed dependencies:
php-pear is needed by (installed) php-4.3.9-3.22.9.x86_64
I try to get cute:
# rpm -e --force php-pear
rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced
(Heh.)
So I can't be the first person to go down this road. Can anyone provide a
hint as to how to get out of the hole I've dug for myself?
Thanks for your time.

You can also do 'rpm -e --nodeps php-pear' although if you're going this route, I'd remove all the php bits and install fresh. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
