Installing php5-cli on Ubuntu

[seventheyejosh]

Hey guys, quick question. I've installed php5-cli before, and have never had an issue, but the server I'm working on now is being strange. I have it currently set up as a LAMP stack, so php is already installed.

 

Here is my error:

 

sudo apt-get install php5-cli

Reading package lists... 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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  php5-cli: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4) but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

 

And here is my version of php5-common:

 

dpkg -s php5-common

PHP5 is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed
from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically
generated pages quickly. This version of PHP5 was built with the Suhosin patch.

I've tried apt-get update / upgrade, but to no avail, probably because the installed package is higher than the one that is required.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks, Josh.

Looks like a bug in the package to me.

[seventheyejosh]

Is there a reason why it is

 

php5-cli: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4) but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed

 

instead of a >= 5.3.2-1 ?

 

And if it is a bug, how can it be remedied?

Either fix (and maintain) the package yourself or report it.
