As of 2012-09-03 a fresh sme8b6 with updates installed, the above line tries to install php-soap-5.3.3-13.el5.sme.1.x86_64. If yum complains about a missing dependency php-common-5.3.3-13.el5.sme.1, verify whether you have installed php-common-5.3 by issuing this command "rpm -qa | grep php-common". If so, you can obtain php-soap-5.3.3-1.el5.sme.6  by invoking "<tt>yum install --enablerepo smedev php-soap-5.3.3-1.el5.sme.6</tt>". Integration test passed.
