yum install php-devel amongst other commands returning problems
- by user3791722
I run yum install php-devel and it returns this.  Typically I'd just run it with --skip-broken, but when I do, it still doesn't do the trick.
       Available: php-common-5.3.3-22.el6.x86_64 (rhel-x86_64-server-6)
           php-common(x86-64) = 5.3.3-22.el6

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
When run with --skip-broken it returns this at the end:

This problem has arisen with a few other similar commands when installing something related to php, except I've just done without them.
I need to install this for something I'm trying to do.  I do remember upgrading to PHP 5.4 and our entire infrastructure coming down due to it requiring PHP 5.3, so I downgraded as quick as possible to get everything back running and that may contribute to the issue.
If you have any idea why this is happening and how I could get the package on the system while remaining on PHP 5.3, please let me know.
Thanks.
