[Spacewalk-list] What's failing? dep-fail

[Jon Miller]

I've ran into this problem as well and my conclusion was that it wasn't my
spacewalk server but _maybe_ yum? I still don't know[1]. The work around is
to do a removal of httpd (since that is what provides the "httpd-mmn =
20120211") and then install php and it will pull httpd back in. 

I don't like that workaround, so please let us know if you discover a better
solution.
