On November 14th 2013, the PHP group has released PHP 5.5.6. This release fixes some bugs against PHP 5.5.5, and adds some performance improvements.
As a consequence, PHP 5.5.6 packages are now available on Dotdeb for Debian 7.0 “Wheezy”, on both amd64 and i386 architectures.
Please read the Changelog and the migration guide (be aware of the backward incompatible changes) before upgrading.
Last but not least, if you find Dotdeb useful, you may want to show your support.

Hi guys!
I have a strange problem (not sure what causes it!) but maybe some of you have an idea what can be done?
I am trying to install php5-memcached
Try #1
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/php-memcached/php5-memcached_2.0.1-6_amd64.deb
dpkg -i php5-memcached_2.0.1-6_amd64.deb
It returns:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of php5-memcached:
php5-memcached depends on libmemcached10; however:
Package libmemcached10 is not installed.
php5-memcached depends on phpapi-20100525; however:
Package phpapi-20100525 is not installed.
================
Try #2
apt-get install php5-memcached
It returns:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php5-memcached : Depends: libmemcached11 but it is not installable
libmemcached11 is not a stable package and actually by installing it I broke down the vps so.. I don’t know why this package is required. Maybe some other software installed is keeping this requirement ?
@Geo : be sure to have this line in your sources.list :
Wow that worked! I was able to install it.
Thanks!!
Any idea why php5-cli indicates pcntl is enabled but pcntl_fork is not defined? Works fine with PHP 5.4 for here.

To answer myself:
The new PHP disables them in php.ini via disable_functions.
So fixed. 🙂
If someone can take a few seconds to assist me that would be greatly appreciated. This is what I get after I issue the syntax apt-get install php5 or php55
“E: Unable to locate package php5” or 55
