Description Remi Collet 2013-05-27 08:56:07 UTC
RHEL-6 64 bits doesn't provides php-devel 32bits.

So, a php extension which provides some devel stuff should not be consider as a multilib candidate.

Ex: php-pecl-msgpack.

=> php-pecl-msgpack-devel-0.5.5-4.el6.i686 requires php-devel(x86_32)

Any news ? (there is more and more php*devel in EPEL)

Comment 3 Remi Collet 2014-09-25 12:46:47 UTC
For context PHP is globally not compatible with multilib.

php-devel provides (and requires) lot of binary commands (such as php, phpize, php-config, ...) which are need during build of PHP extension.

This message is a reminder that EPEL 6 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for EPEL 6 on 2020-11-30. It is our policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of 'el6'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later EPEL version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before EPEL 6 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2020-11-30 14:58:08 UTC
EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
