This is already in bugzilla I see
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128854). ABI
changes in curl cause this version jump. Thus we need an updated version
of PHP.

Maybe it is a good idea if developers consider that version jumps impact
dependent packages. An
rpm -q --whatrequires libcurl.so.2
would have made this obvious, so the maintainer of the dependent package
could have been informed an update of his package is required.
