Hi, in latest update, the php5-xdebug (v5.4.6) fails to configure due to an error in the postinst script. Here’s the fix: in /var/lib/dpkg/info/php5-xdebug.postinst on lines 22 && 23: replace these lines:
local md5sum="$(md5sum ${inidir}/${inifile}.dpkg-new | sed -e ’s/ .//’)" local old_md5sum="$(md5sum ${inidir}/${inifile} | sed -e ’s/ .//’)" by:
md5sum="$(md5sum ${inidir}/${inifile}.dpkg-new | sed -e ’s/ .//’)" old_md5sum="$(md5sum ${inidir}/${inifile} | sed -e ’s/ .//’)"

  Once you change that how do you reinstall it?

I have a problem with memcached extension:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/memcached.so’ - /usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/memcached.so: undefined symbol: memcached_server_minor_version in Unknown on line 0

After “apt-get update && apt-get install –reinstall php5-memcached”
another problem appeared: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/memcached.so’ - libmemcached.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

  @solitary1510 : please run

  - solitary1510 August 20, 2012
    Thanks so much. It’s worked. :x

Sr. This smilie isn’t my mood :)

Hi. Disturb again. I use NGINX as reserve proxy for Apache2. I use WordPress + W3 Total Cache and use APC + Memcached for Cache. 2 days age, before I’m release new version, everything OK. When I’m upgrade, first issue that can’t load dynamic library. And I fixed with upgrade new version of libmemcached and reinstall php5-memcached (thanks for Guillaume Plessis). Everything may be OK but today I check my site and get error 502 Bad Gateway nginx. Try restart apache2, nginx and memcached service. Well, It’s OK but after little minutes. Error 502 Bad Gateway nginx appear. I don’t know what exactly happened. I’m just beginner use VPS. Thanks for help.
Sorry for my bad English ^^!
Guillaume Plessis August 21, 2012
@solitary1510 : please first take a deep look at your log files (syslog, messages, apache2 accesses and errors, nginx and php) to see what’s going wrong.
solitary1510 August 21, 2012
I viewed but not understand anything :(. Sometimes after restart service, I got 500 Internal Server Error instead 502 Bad Gateway
Alexander August 21, 2012
@solitary1510 It’s because of apc, uninstall php5-apc and install pecl apc, it will give you some error in the console every time you restart server but server will work. That bug is already submitted to the php bugtracker.
- solitary1510 August 21, 2012
  Thanks so much! You say me! Two day site offline. Very sad. Thank you so much Alexander!

Hi Guillaume,
thanks for your work. I am using the dotdeb mirrors since years on my debian stable servers.
One question: Currently Debian wheezy (testing) is not supported by dotdeb, although it is already frozen and the next stable release. When wheezy is stable, how long will it take for dotdeb to support it? :-)
Thanks for your answer
- Guillaume Plessis August 21, 2012
  @Anonymous : a few days, I think

php5-imap and php5-recode should not be installable together (updated php dotdeb.5.3.x to dotdeb.5.4.6)
Chris Olbekson August 22, 2012
Getting segfaults from php5-apc after upgrading to 5.4.6 Aug 22 10:43:59 deathstar kernel: php5-fpm[10385]: segfault at 100000018 ip 00000000006d0128 sp 00007fffb745da10 error 4 in php5-fpm[400000+762000]
Same issues as solitary1510 except running Nginx
- Michel August 23, 2012
  Segfaults with APC happening here as well after the latest update.
Guillaume Plessis August 23, 2012
Great! I think I’ll post a note these days about “how to post a useful bug report” to help me improve the overall stability.
Chris Olbekson August 23, 2012
Guillaume that would be a good idea. Comment probably aren’t the most efficient way for you to keep track of bugs. Thanks for all the work you do on the packages. I certainly appreciate your efforts.
Guillaume Plessis August 23, 2012
php5-apc for both PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4 brings APC 3.1.12, the most recent version. I’ll take a further look at the PHP bugtracker about it. Don’t hesitate to provide a backtrace of your crashes (after having installed php5-dbg)
Guillaume Plessis August 23, 2012
The link to generate a backtrace : https://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php
- Guillaume Plessis August 23, 2012
  It seems that the bug has already been reported : https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62877 Let’s see if your backtraces match.
  I’ll provide new packages as soon as there’s a definitive APC fix.
Dmitry Bergstein August 24, 2012
What about one-liner («instructions»)?
wget /dotdeb.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
- Guillaume Plessis August 24, 2012
  @Dmitry Bergstein : TIMTOWTDI :)
Guillaume Plessis August 24, 2012
To those having FPM and APC segaults, could you please run this command and tell me if it fixes your issue?
```
apt-get update && apt-get install --reinstall php5-apc
```
(I applied the fix from this bug report : https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62877 )
- Chris Olbekson August 25, 2012
  I uninstalled the pecl apc version that I replaced php5-apc with via:
  pecl uninstall apc
  I then ran apt-get install php5-apc
  For me your bug fix works and I am no longer having any segfaults or Nginx bad gateway errors. Thanks for you timely attention to this

When i’m install php5-redis im got this error
The following packages have unmet dependencies: php5-redis : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.16-1~dotdeb.0) but 5.4.4-6 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Please fix it.
- Guillaume Plessis August 25, 2012
  @Andrey Polyakov : Please note that Dotdeb is made for Debian stable, not for Wheezy or Sid. That said, I advise you to install PHP 5.4 from Dotdeb, following these instructions : /instructions/
Veer August 30, 2012
After following the instructions I am getting this error: php5-imagick : Depends: libmagickcore3 (>= 8:6.6.0.4) but it is not installable Depends: libmagickwand3 (>= 8:6.6.0.4) but it is not installable php5-mysql : Depends: libmysqlclient16 (>= 5.1.21-1) but it is not installable php5-suhosin : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.16-1~~dotdeb.0) but 5.4.6-1~~dotdeb.0 is to be installed
- Guillaume Plessis August 30, 2012
  @Veer : first, uninstall php5-suhosin, it’s not available with PHP 5.4. And be sure to use a Debian Squeeze (you can add the appropriate lines in your sources.list) to satisfy the dependencies
voro1984 September 3, 2012
Is the ZEND_DONT_UNLOAD_MODULES=1 fix still required? What about the TERM/KILL problem?
- Guillaume Plessis September 3, 2012
  @voro1984 : the export is still needed, none of the encountered issue did receive an official fix yet. Look at the open issues :
  - About APC
  - About FPM
  I'm watching them to publish new packages as soon as a fix is available
Pether November 16, 2012
@Guillaume Plessis I did what was in that link you posted, added all the lines, ran the commands(though it said sudo was an unknown command). But it still says it has unmet dependencies.
