php4 in testing insists that it needs an earlier version I've upgrade to testing:
Then I try this: bravo:/home/alex# apt-get install php4 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: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: php4: Depends: apache-common (< 1.3.19.1) but 1.3.22-2 is to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages -------------------- I am able to force the stable version to work by doing the following: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf: APT::Default-Release "testing" /etc/apt/sources.list deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free apt-get update apt-get install apache-common/stable apt-get install apache/stable apt-get php4/stable apt-get php-mysql/stable This restores my php4 functionaly to what it was before I upgrade to testing, however, if at this point I run apt-get dist-upgrade, it will upgrade my apache version and REMOVE my php4 and php-mysql!!!!
