First of all I'd like to mention that I only need the cli
version of php, just so I can run some simple management
scripts and cron jobs on servers with no web interface.
Some are simple scripts called via snmpd.

Unfortunately we have no php-cli package, so we need to
use the php package. This results in the following
output from yum:

Please consider splitting php-cli out in a separate
package for FC6, it'd make a minimal server install much
neater. Even adding a php-cli that would conflict
with the normal php package could work.

Also, what if I wanted to use lighttpd instead of httpd?
