Adam, thank you, this solved my problem.
But... as far as I know, my predecessor took php4-gd2 not only
because of the gd-version 2 needed (php4-gd*2* for the naiv one,
see below), but also because of the information given in
/var/lib/dpkg/available:
Package: php4-gd2
Version: 3:4.3.2+rc3-2
Replaces: php4-gd
^^^^^^^^!
Description: GD module (with GD2) for php4
^^^
This package provides a module for handling graphics directly from
PHP scripts. It supports the PNG, JPEG, XPM and ttf fonts. It is
compiled with libgd2, so it has more functions, but it may happen,
^^^^^^
As others may be confused as well, is there a way to explain the
situation you discribed in the package information of php4-gd2?
Hmmm, reading php4-gd:
Package: php4-gd
...
Replaces: php4-cgi-gd, php4-gd2
Provides: php4-gd2
...Ok...
Description: GD module for php4
This package provides a module for handling graphics directly from
PHP scripts. It supports the PNG, JPEG, XPM and ttf fonts.
...
As long as php4-gd2 also exists, wouldn't it be a good idea to
explicitly write that this is linked against libgd2?
Once more: thank you. The application is running again just fine!
