Subject: Wrong dependency between php4-cli and php4-common

Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2009 03:22:16 +0100

Package: php4-cli
Severity: important


Hello,

While trying to install php4-cli on my box (in coordination with CRON to generate daily stats), I encountered this problem:

Les paquets suivants contiennent des dépendances non satisfaites :
  php4-cli: Dépend: php4-common (= 6:4.4.4-8+etch6) mais 6:4.4.4-9+lenny1 devra être installé
E: Paquets défectueux

(translated from French to English, might not be the exact wording)

The follow package has unresolved dependencies:
  php4-cli: Depends on: php4-common (= 6:4.4.4-8+etch6) but 6:4.4.4-9+lenny1 is supposed to be installed
E: Erroneous package

Latest news show:

# [2008-07-26] Accepted 6:4.4.4-8+etch6 in stable-security (low) (Sean Finney)
# [2008-05-27] Accepted 6:4.4.4-8+etch6 in stable-security (low) (Sean Finney)
# [2008-04-26] Removed 6:4.4.4-9+lenny1 from testing-proposed-updates (Thomas Viehmann)

Shouldn't be php4-cli be updated with 6:4.4.4-8+etch6 instead of the now obsolete  6:4.4.4-9+lenny1?

Rgds,
Julien

That's what this error message shows.  The only php4-cli package available
is 6:4.4.4-8+etch6, but you have the obsolete php4-common 6:4.4.4-9+lenny1
installed, so the dependencies of php4-cli from etch cannot be satisfied.

You will need to downgrade php4-common (and any other reverse-dependencies)
to the etch version in order to install php4-cli.

Or you could upgrade to the non-obsolete php5.
