Evidently you've upgraded to a newer version of apache than the one in
stable (1.3.9-13.1), so you'll need to find a comparable version of php4
to go with it. If you're upgrading apache to unstable (which
incidentally now has 1.3.14-2.1), then why not get php4 from there as
well?

No, it means it depends on some version of apache-common between 1.3.9
(inclusive) and 1.3.9.1, such as 1.3.9-13.1. (Debian policy describes
how version numbers are compared.)
