Topic: yum update fails in CentOS (PHP 5.5)

Running "yum update" fails in CentOS - "package php-common-5.5.8-1.el6.remi.x86_64 is already installed"

System information:

> uname -a
Linux ip-10-4-230-55 2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 3 21:39:27 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

> cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.5 (Final)

REMI-repo is installed and IUS disabled.

I excluded php-common packages to be installed from CentOS repos, and ran "yum clean all" before update.

Here's more verbose output: http://pastebin.com/xHy4XTc6

Re: yum update fails in CentOS (PHP 5.5)

I tried to solve this by erasing all php-packages from my system, then installing them back and running yum update, but it failed again. Error was bit different though. Here is the whole output: http://pastebin.com/ELJ3bdXU

Re: yum update fails in CentOS (PHP 5.5)

I cannot reproduce this problem on my 6.5 x86_64 server, with only Standard repo and EPEL.

SO I think the issue comes from 1 of the numerous third party repo configured on your computer.

Try to disable "all" those repo.

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=base,updates,epel,remi,remi-php55  update
Laptop:  Fedora 38 + rpmfusion + remi (SCL only)
x86_64 builder: Fedora 39 + rpmfusion + remi-test
aarch64 builder: RHEL 9 with EPEL
Hosting Server: CentOS 8 Stream with EPEL, rpmfusion, remi

Seems like disabling ius-archive repository helped. Thanks!
