This occurs on servers where alt-php-internal-sqlite3 version 7.4.16 is install.

The alt-php-internal-sqlite3 package requires alt-php-internal-common version 7.4.16 as a dependency:

rpm -qR alt-php-internal-sqlite3 | grep -Ei common
alt-php-internal-common = 7.4.16-1.el8

However, when “yum update” runs alt-php-internal-common version 7.4.20 from [imunify360-rollout-2] repo is pulled, as it’s the latest version available and by default Yum attempts to download the latest available version of each package.

yum list available --showduplicates | grep -Ei alt-php-internal-common

alt-php-internal-common.x86_64 7.4.12-3.el8 imunify360
alt-php-internal-common.x86_64 7.4.15-3.el8 imunify360
alt-php-internal-common.x86_64 7.4.16-1.el8 imunify360
alt-php-internal-common.x86_64 7.4.20-2.el8 imunify360-rollout-2

And since the latest available version is different from the version require by alt-php-internal-sqlite3, that breaks Yum’s update.

Today, let us see the steps followed by our Support Techs to resolve it.

The workaround is to temporarily disable the [imunify360-rollout-2] repository.

Here is how it’s done:

1. Firstly, open the following file and disable the [imunify360-rollout-2] repository and then close and save the file:

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/imunify-rollout.repo

2. Then, confirm that the changes have been made:

grep -Eirh "(\[.*\]|enabled=)" /etc/yum.repos.d/* | grep -Ei "\[imunify360-rollout-2\]" -A 1
[imunify360-rollout-2]
enabled=0

3. Finally, remake Yum’s cache:

yum clean all
yum makecache

Next, you should able to run “yum update” with no issues.
