Package: apache2.2-common Version: 2.2.9-10+lenny2 Severity: important Apache was upgraded during the move to Lenny. My previous installation had PHP enabled, after the upgrade PHP still worked but MySQL access through PHP did not. The package "php4-mysql" had been removed and could not be reinstalled. "php5-mysql" could be installed, but did not work as "libapache-mod-php5" was not installed --- "libapache-mod-php4" still was. I removed the latter and then:
$ sudo apt-get install libapache-mod-php5 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libapache-mod-php5: Depends: apache-common (>= 1.3.34) but it is not installable Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.0-10+lenny1) but 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny2 is to be installed E: Broken packages Now PHP support is totally gone and this cannot be remedied: $ sudo apt-get install libapache-mod-php4 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libapache-mod-php4 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package libapache-mod-php4 has no installation candidate Great! And I cannot even file a bug report against "libapache-mod-php5": $ reportbug libapache-mod-php5 *** Welcome to reportbug.

Getting status for libapache-mod-php5... A package named "libapache-mod-php5" does not appear to be installed; do you want to search for a similar-looking filename in an installed package [Y|n|q|?]? Sorry for filing against Apache 2 but what else can I do? I think they should have waited a little longer until Lenny really has become stable: Apache PHP does not work, Java has changed so much that my programs do not work anymore and G Numeric rejects so of the most importnat formulas. (Sorry for the flame which does not concern you but maybe you could tell me how to file a bug report against the upgrade to Lenny.) -- Package-specific info: List of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load: 000_auth_pgsql actions alias apreq asis auth_basic auth_digest auth_pam auth_plain auth_sys_group authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbd authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authnz_ldap authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cern_meta cgi cgid charset_lite dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_cache dump_io env expires ext_filter fastcgi file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info ldap log_forensic mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation perl proxy proxy_ajp proxy_balancer proxy_connect proxy_ftp proxy_http rewrite setenvif speling ssl status suexec unique_id userdir usertrack version vhost_alias -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.4 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apache2 depends on: ii apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.9-10+lenny2 Apache HTTP Server - traditional n apache2 recommends no packages. apache2 suggests no packages.
