As of 2011-11-04 a fresh sme8b6 with updates installed, the above line tries to install sme-soap-5.1. If yum complains about a missing dependency php-common-5.1, verify whether you have installed php-common-5.2. If so, you can obtain php-soap-5.2 by invoking "<tt>yum install --enablerepo smedev php-soap-5.2</tt>". Integration test passed.
As of 2012-09-03 a fresh sme8b6 with updates installed, the above line tries to install php-soap-5.3.3-13.el5.sme.1.x86_64. If yum complains about a missing dependency php-common-5.3.3-13.el5.sme.1, verify whether you have installed php-common-5.3 by issuing this command "rpm -qa | grep php-common". If so, you can obtain php-soap-5.3.3-1.el5.sme.6 by invoking "<tt>yum install --enablerepo smedev php-soap-5.3.3-1.el5.sme.6</tt>". Integration test passed.
To avoid this error message “PHP does not have the SOAP extension enabled” especially if you have no plan of restarting the server.
