I tried doing an "apt-get install php4-mysql" but got the following error message...
------------------------------------------------------- Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... 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. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: php4-mysql: Depends: phpapi-20020918 Depends: php4-common (= 4:4.3.10-16) but 4:4.4.0-2 is to be installed E: Broken packages ------------------------------------------------------- These are the php related packages i have installed: ii libapache-mod-php4 4.4.0-2 ii libapache2-mod-php4 4.4.0-2 ii php-db 1.7.6-2 ii php-http 1.3.6-2 ii php-mail 1.1.6-2 ii php-net-smtp 1.2.6-2 ii php-net-socket 1.0.6-2 ii php-pear 5.0.5-1 ii php-xml-parser 1.2.6-2 ii php4-common 4.4.0-2 ii php4-gd 4.4.0-2 ii php4-imagick 0.9.11-2 ii php4-pear 4.4.0-2 ii php4-pgsql 4.4.0-2 ii php5-cli 5.0.5-1 ii php5-common 5.0.5-1 I'm having doubts about this whole package system. Seems like a lot of people are having problems with it. Wouldn't it be better if everyone just learned how to do things from source?? If anyone knows why this problem came up I would appreciate some suggestions. Otherwise, I think I'm going to pursue the source route.. Thanks Bart
