I'm trying to upgrade php on CentOS 7 from 5.4 to 5.6.

When I run 

 yum install php php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-ldap php-zip php-fileinfo

I get this dependency error. There were many others, so I removed them with yum and conflicts are gone. But php-mcrypt remains.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

If I try to remove php-mcrypt

yum remove php-mcrypt

I get this error.

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
No Match for argument: php-encrypt
No Packages marked for removal

Only repos I have centos, epel and remi

I'm running centos-release-7-6.1810.2.el7.centos.x86_64

I have 5.6, checked with php -v and phpinfo(); but no mcrypt.

Any suggestions?

  • BTW, PHP 5.6 is end of life as well, http://php.net/supported-versions.php So you should consider 7.x. – Lex Li Jan 17 '19 at 14:15

You installed PHP from the remi-php56 repository, but you have disabled that repository. Enable it and try again.

Also note that your PHP application should not be using php-mcrypt at all.

  • It is enabled (I believe) since I already have php5.6 (checked with phpinfo();) but no mcrypt. Ok I won't use it but what if this conflict cause more errors in the future, like updates e.t.c? – Ergec Jan 16 '19 at 18:55
  • You still need to enable the repo. You can't get packages from a disabled repo. – Michael Hampton Jan 16 '19 at 19:22
