You'll want to uninstall php-common. then when it goes to install php53-common, it will pass that check

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@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 Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package php-gd.i386 0:5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 for package: php-gd --> Running transaction check ---> Package php-common.i386 0:5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 set to be updated --> Processing Conflict: php53-common conflicts php-common --> Finished Dependency Resolution 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.
