I'm quite a noob at configuring servers. Anyway, I'm running CentOS 5 and I've been meaning to install the php-xml package for my PHP 5.2.17. This server runs proprietary software which requires PHP 5.2 to be installed and not 5.3.
Currently, I was using the atomic repo. But when i do a yum install php-xml it want to update all php packages to bleeding edge version of 5.3.6. I don't want that - I want to leave it as it is and install php-xml 5.2.17.
So I've downloaded the php-xml package by itself and tried to install it when it threw an error saying:
Examining php-xml-5.2.17-1.x86_64.rpm: php-xml-5.2.17-1.x86_64
Marking php-xml-5.2.17-1.x86_64.rpm to be installed

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Even though I checked and I do have php-common 5.2.17-1 installed like the rest of PHP packages.
So I figure that I need a repository which delivers 5.2.17 php packages, is that right? Couldn't find it by myself.
Thank you for any info on what should I do.
