I am stuck installing PHP 5.5 (to support wordpress) on RHEL 6.3 (Santiago), I think the server was not set up correctly (contractor) and I have ended up with a copy openssl from ius as opposed to the base linux repo.

the error I am dealing with is as follows: 

/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.1e from install of openssl-1.0.1e-30.el6_6.4.x86_64 conflicts with file from package openssl10-libs-1.0.1e-1.ius.el6.x86_64

I tried to remove the ius version, but there are nearly 40 dependencies on it - some of which look important (wget, python, openssh).

What is the best course of action here? Should I rebuild from scratch OR remove the dependencies and reinstall?

Gareth I gave it a try. For some reason it doesn't think openssl is installed from yum:

> remove openssl
Setting up Remove Process
No Match for argument: openssl
Package(s) openssl available, but not installed.

but i tried the remainder anyway:

> install openssl                    
Setting up Install Process

> run

  • It looks like IUS contains yum-plugin-replace You might try using that to see if that lets you just switch the package over to the base repo version. – Bratchley Jan 15 '15 at 15:38

You could try yum's shell to carry out the change as one transaction:-

# yum shell
>
> remove <package>
> repo disable <repo ID of IUS>
> install <package>
> run

Alternatively, if your yum is modern enough, you could use it's swap command.

  • thanks Gareth, if you could see my update - for some reason yum doesn't think openssl is installed. – akaphenom Jan 15 '15 at 15:46
  • @akaphenom - but openssl-libs is installed. Try replacing the current with the the non-IUS version using the above procedure. – garethTheRed Jan 15 '15 at 15:48
  • exactly the point of my confusion, the file is obviously there and other packages are dependent on it BUT yum remove openssl: "No Match for argument: openssl" - i did try your procedure, and updated my original post with the output. – akaphenom Jan 15 '15 at 15:50
  • What openssl packages are installed? Just openssl-libs or also openssl itself? It looks like you have a version installed that has openssl split in multiple packages and you're trying to replace it with an openssl that has everything in one package. – wurtel Jan 15 '15 at 15:57
  • @akaphenom - If I understand your predicament correctly, I think you need to replace the IUS version of openssl-libs with the non-IUS version first, then install openssl. You cannot remove openssl-libs as it's such a dangerous act that yum protects itself from destruction. However, you should be able to replace it with the non-IUS one. Once that's done, you should be able to install openssl itself. – garethTheRed Jan 15 '15 at 15:58
