Created attachment 594573 [details] Patch which fixes the issue. php-fpm depends on libevent when it doesn't need to (it doesn't use it). The attached patch fixes this issue.
Upstream bug related https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52501 https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52498 Yes this BuildRequires should have be removed (since 5.3.4) But php doesn't requires libevent (check: yum remove libevent doesn't pull php)
Sorry, yes I meant php build-requires libevent-devel when it doesn't need to (none of the packages it creates depend on libevent).
