 i thought that was fixed at some point! here's what i did: find the deb
Fixed how? The maintainer hasn't rebuilt php4 since apache 1.3.23
entered Debian... And those _are_ the correct forward looking dependancies.
 for php4... somewhere in var/ where apt stores it's cache then, use
/var/cache/apt/archives/php4*.deb
 dpkg to install php4 like so:

 dpkg -i --ignore-depends=apache-common php4.deb

[snip]
 my whole point of rambling is that the
 --ignore-depends=apache-common has never caused a problem for me.

Unless apache decides to change it's interface in some subtle way
that breaks the php4 package. :-)

And of course, by recompiling, you don't have to worry about apt-get
noticing the broken dependancies. ;-)

PHP4 problem after dist-upgrade

2002-02-08 Thread Michael Sullivan
after an apt-get update / dist-upgrade last night  I no longer have PHP4 on 
my system and cannot install it..

the problem seems to be related to the apache-common version.

in looking at the dependencies for PHP4, apache-common is listed twice, once 
with  apache-common (= 1.3.22) and the other apache-common ( 1.3.22.1) 

my current version (sid) is apache-common 1.3.23-1 

is this one of those wait a few days things that crops up in sid now and 
then or should I downgrade apache / apache-common and avoid upgrading for a 
while?   any help would be appreciated

Same results here.

Looks like you've found the exact cause.
Solution..? I'm in the same waiting mode.

You may be waiting longer than usual. The PHP4 package has
just been orphaned. However, it's a pretty popular package,
I'm sure someone'll pick it up ASAP.

If you want, you should be able to apt-get source and
rebuild it with dependancies on the current apache.

hello,

i thought that was fixed at some point! here's what i did: find the deb
for php4... somewhere in var/ where apt stores it's cache then, use
dpkg to install php4 like so:

dpkg -i --ignore-depends=apache-common php4.deb

on one of my boxen (theigloo), which is online, this isn't a problem
with current woody sources. at home, my pc is offline... so, i have some
woody cd's i burned at work back in november. every time i use
apt-cdrom, i have to apt-get -f install to remove php4 and
php4-mysql then install (via apt-cdrom) whatever it is i'm trying to
install, then use dpkg to install php4 and php4-mysql again. my whole
point of rambling is that the --ignore-depends=apache-common has never
caused a problem for me.

good luck,
jason
