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

 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_. – Daniele Santi Dec 12 '18 at 10:52
  • Explanation probably here "4509 packages excluded due to repository priority protections" – Remi Collet Dec 12 '18 at 12:42
  • In addition to removing priorities I would also suggest removing the conflicting IUS repo. – Michael Hampton Dec 12 '18 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
