I'm running Sarge with all the latest security updates. I'm running Apache, php4 with the php4-sybase module installed for the application to hit a MSSQL 2000 server. I installed everything via apt-get. It installed php4 4.3.10-16 and all of this dependent packages including php4-sybase 4.3.10-16. When i tried pulling up the web page I kept getting warning messages about an invalid resource id or something.
Now after some investigation I found that the problem went away in php 4.3.11. So i did a diff between php_mssql.c in 4.3.10 and 4.3.11 and created a patch. I downloaded the package source for php4 and found that the patch that I created had been already been rolled into the source. So i compiled the source into a debian package and only installed the php4-sybase package and all of my problems went away. So obviously the pre-built package has been compiled from different code than what I pulled down for the package. Can anyone shed some light on this. Is this usuall? Should i contact the maintainer?
