Cannot install PHP8 - error: Error: Transaction check error:

[Jeromero]

Hi all,
I am experiencing difficulties installing PHP8 through Easy Apache 4
I receive an error:
The provision process exited with errors. Please check the log for details.
Provision process started.
[2022-03-18 00:47:43 +0200] info [xml-api] There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction, or "yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only" and "yum history redo last", first to finish them. If those don't work you'll have to try removing/installing packages by hand (maybe package-cleanup can help).

And just before I click on Provision button to install the PHP8 and modules I see the message:


Please review the following list of packages you are about to upgrade by provisioning this profile.

• libargon2
• libmcrypt

But I can't find those in the list.
How do I get this sorted?

 

[Spirogg]

first you should try in terminal yum update
then trey the below commands

[Jeromero]

Thanks for your reply.
No I didn't try that.
So I login to Putty and rub these?
In what directory I should be while running these commands?
