PHP4 was removed from testing and unstable several months ago:
http://wiki.debian.org/PHP4Removal

Continuing to use PHP4 in testing/unstable will require workarounds.

The libphp-adodb dependency is currently unversioned and installing an
older package works, as you have already seen.  libphp-adodb versions
less than 5.05-1 are not available in testing and unstable which would
render the package unusable for the majority of users.

Bug#499806: gallery2: gallery with PHP4 doesn't work with libphp-adodb 5

[Calum Mackay]

Package: gallery2
Version: 2.2.6-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Firstly, apologies if I'm missing something that renders my configuration
invalid.

I'm using Gallery2 with PHP4, which I believe is still supported. I know
that future Gallery2 releases will require PHP5.

gallery2 depends on libphp-adodb, which is currently at version 5.05.
However, 5.x versions of adodb require PHP5; attempting to use adodb 5
with Gallery 2 & PHP4 produces an "unexpected T_STATIC" error page.

Since Gallery2 supports PHP4, I believe the gallery2 pkg should require
a 4.x version of libphp-adodb, e.g: libphp-adodb (< 5.0).

Downgrading to libphp-adodb 4.96-1 fixed the problem for me.

Again, apols if I've missed an announcement *requiring* me to upgrade
to PHP5.

best regards,
calum.
