I've tested with a dummy package which: Provides: php4, php4-domxml, php4-imap, phpapi-20020918 and installed just horde3 and imp4. A bugreport might be fired against php-mail-mime to not depend on php4. Also some other packages do depend on php4-pear, which is a transitional pkg at this time. The installation went fine and I was able to run horde using mysql5 backend and imp and authenticating against a remote IMAP server. The only error I got was: [Tue Oct 11 06:05:05 2005] [error] [client ::1] PHP Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /usr/share/horde3/imp/mailbox.php on line 553, referer: http://localhost/horde3/services/portal/sidebar.php?Horde=d8bf4e67adcff2d84d8ae6d3ef88e995 I've not payed too much attention to configuration though, and might have broken something there. Also I was unable to find php4-domxml replacement and gave it a go w/o it. Not sure whether it's needed anymore(or included somewhere in php5 packages). Anyway, the result of the test is that it is runnable within this environment, and your should probably go ahead and change the dependencies. I haven't checked the horde/imp mls for anything on the topic, just the install instructions. A quick search on the archives, or a talk with Chuck/Jan(form horde team) should show you whether there could be any issues.
