Topic: Failed dependencies upgrading PHP

[Derek Godfrey]

I have been trying to upgrade PHP to the latest version as per the How-To.  I am getting an error message as follows when trying to update RPMs:

[root@e-smith phprpms]# rpm -Uvh php_4.3.2/*
error: failed dependencies:
        php = 4.1.2-2es3 is needed by php-pgsql-4.1.2-2es3


Please tell me how to fix this.  I would really like to have the new PHP ASAP!

Thanks,

Derek

Assuming you don't have postgresql installed (it isn't installed by default), do this:

# rpm -e php-pgsql

That's it!

this is what I get

[root@mail1 root]# rpm -e rpm -e php-pgsql
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:

No, you only need one "rpm -e" in the command line...

[Paul Winkler]

Of course you do!

I'm sorry I didn't even notice, thanks for pointing out my error.

Thanks Dan

Where can I get the how to?????

You can try it here.

Couldn't really follow Dan's howto. Couldn't find it also. The contribs side doesn't have his name. Anyhow, this works just as fine.
