I am using CentOS 6 and I updated PHP using the Remi Repository. I would like to use yum in order to know what is the latest version available in the official CentOS repos. I tried issuing the following command:

yum --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo=base,update info php

but I get

...
Version: [current installed version]
...
Repo: installed
From repo: remi
...

It seems that since the package is already installed I can't get this information. Is there any way to use yum to check that?

Thanks.

You want to use the --showduplicates option, which is a somewhat confusing name but from yum's POV the available package is a duplicate of the installed one.

Also note that for recent versions of yum you can do:

yum repo-pkgs <repo> list foo

...which is somewhat easier.

    Yeh, sorry, it got fixed so that both work in newer versions but the one without the dash works "forever".
