Package: php5 Version: 5.2.5-2 Severity: important Tags: patch It isn't a debian bug, but a known feature of 5.2.5 that mostly disables the dl() function from working properly. Prior to 5.2.5, the dl() function could load user modules at run-time, rather than installing them site-wide in the php.ini.
I don't know how widespread the use of ioncube loader (or other dl() libs) so perhaps it doesn't matter, but I hadn't expected 5.2.5 to be an interesting release. The fix is to copy the loader file to a known location, and then add this line to your /etc/php5/conf.d/ioncube.ini zend_extension = /usr/local/lib/php5/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686-bigmem (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages php5 depends on: ii php5-cgi 5.2.4-2+b1 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php5-common 5.2.4-2+b1 Common files for packages built fr php5 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
