Can't update some very important packages for a few weeks now - amazon-linux-2

I can't update some packages for a few weeks now, using Amazon Linux 2, because yum update says dependency problems. What's the way to proceed in this case? A reinstall? I can keep updating all other packages with the --skip-broken flag, but this doesn't seem a good way to keep going forward.
What are you guys experience with this? Can anyone that had this issue shed some light?

eclipse neon 3 UI Glitch Marketplace no longer accessible

Good Morning, Good Evening, Good Afternoon everyone. :P Today, I ran into a problem shortly after I updated the Eclipse IDE from Neon 2 to Neon 3. It does appear that I am no longer able to access the MPC (Market Place Client). The help menu no longer has any options for MPC.
I do clarify that I was able to access it once after the update, and I used it to try and download a few plugins that went missing after the update. But for some reason, when I restarted eclipse to finalize the plugin install, the help menu no longer had any links to it. (And the link in the Welcome Screen does nothing in case somebody were to mention it, tho it did give a small notification once telling me there was an exception trying to execute the UI command.)
I am running Arch Linux x86_64 and updated eclipse through pacman in case that's a needed detail. I do believe this to be a bug, but if nobody else is experiencing this, I would definitely appreciate some help.
I still don't entirely understand the problem, but I fixed it by deleting everything in /home/[user]/.eclipse. I can now go about installing updates, new plugins, and the like again.

Intall php5.2 on WHM 58 Cpanel EasyApache 4

I needs to install php5.2 version on my server. Right now php 5.4 is the oldest version installed. Since 2 days. I searched a lot over google but didn't find appropriate guidance yet. Tried a lot of tutorials no works at all. Any suggestion or guidance will be appreciated. thanks
I don't think there is any proper or easy way to revert to php-5.2.x from php-5.4.x; at least not using WHM interface or as an automatic process. Even if you have EasyApache3 you will not be able to downgrade from php-5.4.x to php-5.2.x
Your only option might be CloudLinux which comes with a php selector which allows you to select any php version from php-5.1.x to php-7.x.
You must know that Cloudlinux is not free and the license is around $10/month. They offer a 15 day trial so if you do all the necessary setting within that period you can just use it as much as you want. You won't be able to update it though and some of the functionality might not work as expected after the trial ends.
The PHP versions that you have mentioned are completely outdated and using them would be risky. Cpanel is never going to support it with their newer version. So your best deal would be to update your application/website to latest PHP and host with the latest PHP only

Xen on Centos 7

I am a newbie to Xen and want to download it on my machine which currently has CentOS7. I have been researching and experimenting for a couple of days but can't seem to find a straightforward answer on how to install a fully functioning Xen on CentOS7. I tried using the workaround at http://www.lairdscomputer.com/Blog/tabid/62/EntryId/74/Installing-Xen-4-on-Centos-7.aspx, but it seems that some of the packages it uses might be outdated.
Is it even possible to install Xen on CentOS7, even if it is missing some parts to it? Would it be better just to go back to CentOS6.x so that I can install Xen4CentOS?
Thanks in advance! Any advice is appreciated!
Afaik RedHat therefore CentOS is not supporting Xen whoever in fact it is possible.
I am using xen4centos on my Centos7 server, it was installed along with official article from wiki:
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart
It it is not, please provide some logs, errors etc

Redmine 'mentions' plugin stopped working

I've installed the Redmine Mentions plugin from:
https://github.com/arkhitech/redmine_mentions
And it worked perfect until a few days. I couldn't find helpful information on the internet and the author didn't reply as well so It'd be great if someone could advise on this one.
No changes took place on the server, no config modifications...and suddenly the mention 'trigger' (which is currently '#') isn't working.
I've tried to restart, reinstall and reconfig the trigger but none of these solved the issue.
Here's a little bit of info on the system:
Environment:
Redmine version 2.4.2.stable
Ruby version 1.9.3-p484 (2013-11-22) [x86_64-linux]
Rails version 3.2.16
Environment production
Database adapter Mysql2
Please advise,
Much appreciated!
Thanks,
Talbion.
OK, I've eventually managed to fix this by removing a plugin called 'a_common_libs' which was a dependency for another plugin that's been installed on the server - 'Usability plugin'. At first I uninstalled the Usability plugin (our redmine version 2.4 wasn't supported by this plugin) but that didn't solve the 'mentions' issue. Later I've decided to uninstall it's dependency as well...and it looks good.
(btw, for whoever is curious about the uninstallation process - it consisted of MOVING the plugin folder and restarting Redmine. That's it).
So...I don't know exactly how both plugins are related but somehow the removal of the common libraries fixed mentions.
Thanks again for your help.

Has anyone gotten sphinx to work with Lion?

Just curious if anyone out there has gotten Sphinx to work with Lion? If yes, how did you install it?
I seen to be running into problem after problem, cannot find anyone else who has this working yet.
Thanks!
Yes
Just got it to work on my Lion install.
You have to checkout the latest release from their trunk.
svn checkout http://sphinxsearch.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ sphinxsearch-read-only
And then follow the regular install method
./configure
make
sudo make install
Thanks to The Rails Blog for the tip.
