what's the best way to update php and it's dependencies with rpm ?
General Rule: Installed-First ; removed-Last.
# rpm -U php-4.3.8-1.mortenp.rh73.i386.rpm
Command means remove php-older-version(php-4.3.4) and install
'php-4.3.8-1.mortenp.rh73.i386.rpm'
error: failed dependencies:
php = 4.3.4 is needed by php-standalone-4.3.4-3.mortenp.rh73
You can't remove php-older-verion (php-4.3.4) because you have packages
that are dependent upon it.
This is unless you use --force option. Using --force option is not
advisable (As this may result in lose of
software functionality at the very least or even lose of employment
under extreme circumstances.).
Solution: Remove the package(s) that depends on php-older-version first
and try to UPGRADE again. If
some more packages are dependent, remove them and Upgrade. (Caution
backup your data before removing).
Before removing packages, it is advisable to analyse (there is no magic
formula. rely on your analytical
abilities,i.e., anticipate what happens if this or that is removed.)
the results of:
rpm -ql --requires <package-name>
In the specific case above,
rpm -ql --requires php-standalone-4.3.4-3.mortenp.rh73
php = 4.3.4 is needed by php-mysql-4.3.4-3.mortenp.rh73
php = 4.3.4 is needed by mod_php-4.3.4-3.mortenp.rh73
php = 4.3.4 is needed by php-gd-4.3.4-3.mortenp.rh73
php = 4.3.4 is needed by php-ftp-4.3.4-3.mortenp.rh73
Hope this helps.
