According to some doc on the joomla site(s), there is a known bug in
PHP xml in v 5.0.4

I had run into it in WordPress clients, but hadn't found out it was
PHP and not the client at fault. So, never having been able to fix it,
I just didn't use that functionality.

Now, in trying to upgrade to the newest version of joomla, the xml bug
rears its ugly head during installation... with the result that the
software cannot even be used.

The solution, of course, is to upgrade PHP. Unfortunately, trying to
upgrade to the latest version (5.2.4 afaict) doesn't work - trying to
install with rpm reports 15 dependency problems, and those in turn
generate still more... this, on a FC 4 server.

My question is this: what is the "next" version of PHP after 5.0.4 and
where might it be found?
