update of packages won't work due to errors on some php packages

[DrMartinus]

Hi,

I'm running a remote server with CentOS 7.7.1908. I wasn't able to update it any further due to problems with some php packages. I had tried to upgrade PHP from the 5.x to 7.x version, and the upgrade process (I followed some instructions) worked fine, but afterwards I was still on PHP 5.x. So I didn't bother, but after a while noticed that the update didn't work. Here are the error messages at the end of the output of

Code: Select all

yum update

:

The German words mean: Fehler=Error; Benötigt=Needs; Entfernen=Remove; Aktualisiert durch=updated by; Verfügbar=Available
I am planning to upgrade the entire system to CentOS 8, but before that I need the packages properly set, and I would prefer to have CentOS 7.x be up to date for that next step.
Any suggestions on what to do?

There is NO upgrade. It's a reinstall. From scratch, back up everything, reinstall, restore, reconfigure.
