Odd package upgrade issue
 
Hey All,

I've had an odd package upgrade issue for a while now (couple of months maybe). I am using Apache 2.x, and do not have Apache 1.x installed.

Code:
root@girls [~]# apt-get upgrade

Any idea why it will not upgrade the PHP existing packages, and why it wants to install apache 1.x if I try to do a dist-upgrade? I'm baffled, and it's been like this for a while now.

I think it is holding back packages because they require installing NEW packages in addition to upgrading existing packages. apache-common is a dependency of php4 for whatever reason (I just looked at dependencies using synaptic). I'm sorry I can't provide more information because I do not use apache.

Well, I managed to resolve this issue, although I'm still not sure what the underlying issue was. I solved this by re-installing php4-common.

Code:
root@girls [/home/kev]# apt-get --reinstall install php4-common

The following extra packages will be installed:
  libapache2-mod-php4 (4.3.10-12)
  libkrb53 (1.3.6-2)
  libzzip-0-12 (0.12.83-4)
  php4-mysql (4.3.10-12)
Suggested packages:
  php4-pear (4.3.10-12)
  phpdoc ()
  krb5-doc (1.3.6-2)
  krb5-user (1.3.6-2)
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libkrb53 (1.3.6-2)
  libzzip-0-12 (0.12.83-4)
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libapache2-mod-php4 (4.3.10-2 => 4.3.10-12)
  php4-common (4.3.10-2 => 4.3.10-12)
  php4-mysql (4.3.10-2 => 4.3.10-12)
3 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Then I was able to upgrade php4:
