[support] depsolving issues

[Dave Stevens]

Hi,

I have a new install of CentOS 5.6 which is up to date. I've downloaded and 
unpacked Drupal 7.2 and am working through the install.

I've got a problem with an apparent conflict between php-common and php53-
common. The Drupal installer is asking for php-gd and php-dom. Then this 
sequence takes place:

[root at cl28810 drupal-7.2]# yum install php-gd
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirrors.arsc.edu
 * extras: centos.corenetworks.net
 * updates: mirrors.usc.edu

php53-common-5.3.3-1.el5_6.1.i386 from installed has depsolving problems
  --> php53-common conflicts with php-common
Error: php53-common conflicts with php-common
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Have others had this problem? ideas??

This is not a production site so I have a lot of flexibility, can arbitrarily 
reboot, etc.
