I have a server currently running CentOS 7.6 and PHP 7.1.25. I want to update my PHP version to 7.3 (released on 6 Dec) but I'm having some troubles.

I followed this guide but when I run yum update, it throws the following error:

# yum update Loaded plugins: priorities 4509 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package php-mcrypt.x86_64 0:7.1.25-2.el7.remi will be obsoleted ---> Package php-pecl-mcrypt.x86_64 0:1.0.1-8.el7.remi.7.3 will be obsoleting --> Processing Dependency: php(api) = 20180731-64 for package: php-pecl-mcrypt-1.0.1-8.el7.remi.7.3.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: php(zend-abi) = 20180731-64 for package: php-pecl-mcrypt-1.0.1-8.el7.remi.7.3.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: php-pecl-mcrypt-1.0.1-8.el7.remi.7.3.x86_64 (remi-php73) Requires: php(api) = 20180731-64 Installed: php-common-7.1.25-2.el7.remi.x86_64 (@remi-php71) php(api) = 20160303-64 Available: php-common-5.4.45-15.el7.remi.x86_64 (remi) php(api) = 20100412-64 Available: php-common-5.4.45-16.el7.remi.x86_64 (remi) php(api) = 20100412-64 Available: php-common-7.1.25-1.el7.remi.x86_64 (remi-php71) php(api) = 20160303-64 Available: php56u-common-5.6.37-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(api) = 20131106-64 Available: php56u-common-5.6.38-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(api) = 20131106-64 Available: php70u-common-7.0.31-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(api) = 20151012-64 Available: php70u-common-7.0.32-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(api) = 20151012-64 Available: php71u-common-7.1.22-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(api) = 20160303-64 Available: php71u-common-7.1.23-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(api) = 20160303-64 Available: php71u-common-7.1.24-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(api) = 20160303-64 Available: php72u-common-7.2.10-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(api) = 20170718-64 Available: php72u-common-7.2.11-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(api) = 20170718-64 Available: php72u-common-7.2.12-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(api) = 20170718-64 Error: Package: php-pecl-mcrypt-1.0.1-8.el7.remi.7.3.x86_64 (remi-php73) Requires: php(zend-abi) = 20180731-64 Installed: php-common-7.1.25-2.el7.remi.x86_64 (@remi-php71) php(zend-abi) = 20160303-64 Available: php-common-5.4.45-15.el7.remi.x86_64 (remi) php(zend-abi) = 20100525-64 Available: php-common-5.4.45-16.el7.remi.x86_64 (remi) php(zend-abi) = 20100525-64 Available: php-common-7.1.25-1.el7.remi.x86_64 (remi-php71) php(zend-abi) = 20160303-64 Available: php56u-common-5.6.37-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(zend-abi) = 20131226-64 Available: php56u-common-5.6.38-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(zend-abi) = 20131226-64 Available: php70u-common-7.0.31-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(zend-abi) = 20151012-64 Available: php70u-common-7.0.32-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(zend-abi) = 20151012-64 Available: php71u-common-7.1.22-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(zend-abi) = 20160303-64 Available: php71u-common-7.1.23-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(zend-abi) = 20160303-64 Available: php71u-common-7.1.24-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(zend-abi) = 20160303-64 Available: php72u-common-7.2.10-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(zend-abi) = 20170718-64 Available: php72u-common-7.2.11-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(zend-abi) = 20170718-64 Available: php72u-common-7.2.12-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 (ius) php(zend-abi) = 20170718-64 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

So I thought, let's just install php(api) = 20180731-64 manually, so I googled for that package which led me to this page and I tried to install php73-php-common, to which I'm getting this error:

# yum --enablerepo=remi install php73-php-common Loaded plugins: priorities 4509 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Package php73-php-common-7.3.0-1.el7.remi.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do

What am I doing wrong/missing? How do I upgrade PHP 7.1 to PHP 7.3?

  • Looks like php73 is already installed: Package php73-php-common-7.3.0-1.el7.remi.x86_64 already installed and latest version. And from the first link you posted it looks like a problem with some extensions: The upgrade can fail (by design) when some installed extensions are not yet compatible with PHP 7.3.

  • Explanation probably here "4509 packages excluded due to repository priority protections" Commented Dec 12, 2018 at 12:42
  • In addition to removing priorities I would also suggest removing the conflicting IUS repo. Commented Dec 12, 2018 at 17:49

Answer is in your output

Loaded plugins: priorities

4509 packages excluded due to repository priority protections

So you need to fix priority to ensure remi-php73 repository have higher priority (lower number) than any other repository.

Another way is to remove the priority plugin.

yum-plugin-replace worked for me

::Example ::

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm

yum -y install yum-plugin-replace

yum -y replace phpxxx-common --replace-with=phpyyy-common

    Probably because your answer is about webtatic, and question is about php 7.3 which is only available (for now) in "remi" Commented Dec 12, 2018 at 12:43
