Re: Upgrading php 5.6.x to 7.3 on CentOS 7 with Nginx and php-fpm

One of the installed/enabled plugins block the update.
Usual suspect is priority, but seems this is another one.
perhaps "versionlock"

But again, only full yum output can give this information.

You really have to find which one, else you won't have benefit of next update (7.3.3, 7.3.4, ...)
