php-cgi install issue

I had the php package installed until I realized I needed php-cgi for what I want to do.  When I tried to install php-cgi it complained about php being installed so I removed php.  But now when I try to install php-cgi, I get this...

% pacman -S php-cgi
resolving dependencies... done.
looking for inter-conflicts... 
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: php: conflicts with php-cgi

The weird part is that php has been removed.  Any ideas folks?

Re: php-cgi install issue

i think this is a bug ... i dunno( if it's pacman of pkg related ), however .. you can get round it, ( or should ) by installing php as it was before .. then pacman -S php-cgi, this should prompt with a conflict warning, just issue Y, to replace it (note: don't remove it manually).

if that's what you did, i unfortunately have no other solution.
