Hello, I have php 5.1.6 ,the latest available with yum and i wanted to upgrade to 5.2.1 I have downloade 5.2.1 run ./configure,make and the checkinstall. When i wanted to install the newly created rpm i got the following errors: # rpm -ivh php-5.2.1-1.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] file /etc/pear.conf from install of php-5.2.1-1 conflicts with file from package php-pear-1.4.9-4 file /usr/share/pear/.channels/pear.php.net.reg from install of php-5.2.1-1 conflicts with file from package php-pear-1.4.9-4 file /usr/share/pear/.depdb from install of php-5.2.1-1 conflicts with file from package php-pear-1.4.9-4 file /usr/share/pear/.registry/archive_tar.reg from install of php-5.2.1-1 conflicts with file from package php-pear-1.4.9-4 file /usr/share/pear/.registry/console_getopt.reg from install of php-5.2.1-1 conflicts with file from package php-pear-1.4.9-4 file /usr/share/pear/.registry/pear.reg from install of php-5.2.1-1 conflicts with file from package php-pear-1.4.9-4 file /usr/bin/php from install of php-5.2.1-1 conflicts with file from package php-cli-5.1.6-3.4.fc6 file /usr/share/man/man1/php.1.gz from install of php-5.2.1-1 conflicts with file from package php-cli-5.1.6-3.4.fc6 Is it safe to use the --force option? just in case this is the output of rpm -qa | grep php on my machine(i thought it would be useful) rpm -qa | grep php php-5.1.6-3.4.fc6 php-pear-Date-1.4.7-1.fc6 php-cli-5.1.6-3.4.fc6 php-mbstring-5.1.6-3.4.fc6 php-pear-DB-1.7.6-7.fc6 php-common-5.1.6-3.4.fc6 php-pear-1.4.9-4 php-mysql-5.1.6-3.4.fc6 php-pear-DB-DataObject-1.8.5-2.fc6 php-pear-Validate-0.7.0-1.fc6 php-pear-MDB2-2.4.0-1.fc6 php-pdo-5.1.6-3.4.fc6 So as you can see php,php-cli,php-mbstring and php-mysql are the same version : 5.1.6 If i install JUST php 5.2.1 wouldn't that break the dependencies with the other packages?
