The root of the problem seems to be "php-pear". I cannot find it in the
Sarge repositories in my sources.list. Where did it come from?
You can try to remove php-pear and install php4-pear with dpkg:
dpkg --force-depends --remove php-pear
dpkg --install /var/cache/apt/archives/php4-pear_4:4.3.10-18_all.deb
There might be more conflicts coming if you have other non-Sarge
packages installed. You might have to remove all those packages before
you can do the upgrade.
