 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem                        
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest                                 
[root@ioi ~]#

I don't understand why the error is appearing.

I have tried both using --skip-broke and rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest But it is not solving the problem. I have PHP-FPM php-common and php-cli running anyone knows how to fix this problem?

hi @iOi i'm having the same problem, did you manage to find the solutions ? — Adel Bachene, Mar 09 '15 at 06:31

I Faced the same error as you and I manage to solve it by downloading & installing Squirrelmail on CentOS 6 following the next steps :

1- yum -y update
// Downloading the file 
2- wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/squirrelmail/stable/1.4.22/squirrelmail-webmail-1.4.22.zip
// unzip the file
3- unzip squirrelmail-webmail-1.4.22.zip -d /var/www/html/
// copy this to your project main path, you can also make a vhost
4- mv /var/www/html/squirrelmail-webmail-1.4.22/ /home/www.mywebsite.com/public_html/squirrelmail
// Set the correct permissions
5- chown -R apache: /home/www.mywebsite.com/public_html/squirrelmail/
// Create the configuration file
6- cd /home/www.mywebsite.com/public_html/squirrelmail/config 
    cp -p config_default.php config.php
// example of minimum configuration that you will need
$domain = 'mywebsite.com';
$data_dir = '/home/www.mywebsite.com/public_html/squirrelmail/data/';
$attachment_dir = '/home/www.mywebsite.com/public_html/squirrelmail/attach/';
$smtpServerAddress = 'localhost';
$imapServerAddress = 'localhost';
