Public bug reported: I have tried this 5 times from clean installs to get phpmyadmin installed properly on a Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal (POWERPC) server. I go through and have no problems installing Apache2, PHP5, MySQL but when i go to install phpmyadmin my output looks like this:
chakra_admin@LinuxV2:~$ sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... 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. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: phpmyadmin : Depends: php5-mcrypt but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. So then i see if i can install php5-mcrypt but when i try this i get this output and this is where i get stuck....
