Considering tidy 2 is a default part of the current php distribution, all of the php5 package and dependent packages should be compiled with the --with-tidy configuration option. The PECL extension does not work correctly in PHP5, because PHP5 is expecting Tidy 2, which is part of the PHP distrubtion.
Until this is corrected, you have to recompile php and php-based modules (like libapache2-mod-php5) yourself with the --with-tidy configuration option. This sucks, but it's the only workaround I have found. If the Ubuntu developers would make tidy part of the all of the php5 packages (like php5, php5-cli, libapache2-mod-php5, and all the rest of php5-*), I would be grateful. -- Package tidy module https://launchpad.net/bugs/38510 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
