PHP 5.4.15 & PHP 5.3.25 / for Wheezy & Squeeze

As always: Thank you very much for all your efforts, Guillaume! 🙂

I had problems with memcache extension after the update

So the problem is that wheezy ships with libmemcached10 version 10.0.8 and php5-memcached needs 10.0.10

could you create an updated version of libmemcached10 as you did with squeeze?

Thanks

@Rodrigo : thanks for reporting this issue, I’ve just fixed it. All you have to do is apt-get update ; apt-get install --reinstall php5-memcached

Looks like something has been misconfigured. I’ve got my PHP 5.3 upgdaded to PHP 5.4.15. I have “http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all” as a source but there are PHP 5.4 packages there. Is there a way to fix that?

@Guillaume Thanks. I think is not correct to report this in the comments i’ll use the github issue queue in the future

the php53 repo is no longer relevant to wheezy as default php in wheezy is 5.4 – i suspect there will be an extra repo created for php 5.5 for wheezy only once php 5.5 goes GA/stable

if you are still on squeeze you will need to change stable to squeeze for your dotdeb lines for things to continue working correctly

Thanks, the tip to change the sources.list for squeeze has helped me.

@Anthony, thanks. I’m using Ubuntu 13.04 and after switching to squeeze or oldstable I’m getting the following:
> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
> libapache2-mod-php5 : Depends: libdb4.8 but it is not installable

Is there a recommended way of using dotdeb on Ubuntu?

Hi Guillaume,
after todays “aptitude full-upgrade” the server gives me this:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
libapache2-mod-php5filter{ab}
The following packages will be upgraded:
php5-geoip{b}
1 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 13 not upgraded.
Need to get 2,858 kB of archives. After unpacking 9,656 kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libapache2-mod-php5: Conflicts: libapache2-mod-php5filter but 5.4.15-1~dotdeb.2 is to be installed.
php5-geoip: Depends: php5-common (= 5.4.15-1~dotdeb.2) but 5.3.25-1~dotdeb.0 is installed and it is kept back.
libapache2-mod-php5filter: Depends: libdb5.1 which is a virtual package.
Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0) which is a virtual package.
Depends: libxml2 (>= 2.8.0) but 2.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze7 is installed.
Depends: php5-common (= 5.4.15-1~dotdeb.2) but 5.3.25-1~dotdeb.0 is installed and it is kept back.
Conflicts: libapache2-mod-php5 but 5.3.25-1~dotdeb.0 is installed and it is kept back.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Remove the following packages:
1) php5-geoip
on’
Keep the following packages at their current version:
2) libapache2-mod-php5filter [Not Installed]

So I accept the action, because I would hold the PHP 5.3.25 version for some reasons (have tried PHP 5.4 but doesn’t work with all my Joomla pages / extensions).

Now I don’t have “php5-geoip” anymore which I understand is only possible in conjuction with PHP 5.4. What would you recommend in this matter?

Any help would be appreciate.

Thx

Jens

And a cron.d warning:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php5/20090626/geoip.so’ – /usr/lib/php5/20090626/geoip.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

@Jens : http://localhost:8080/2012/08/24/how-to-post-useful-bug-reports/

the quickest recommendation is dont! there are too many dependancy differences than its worth spending the time on to manually resolve each time – there are ubuntu PPA’s out there that achieve the same effect as dotdeb for debian as well

DotDeb only works on debian and is only supported on debian (squeeze and wheezy) systems

most specifically for php5 in ubuntu – https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5

O.K. Makes sense 🙂 here are the additional information:

@Jens : I don’t understand why APT mentions PHP 5.4 while you’re using explicitly Squeeze in your sources.list and don’t use the squeeze-php54 repo. Could you please run apt-cache policy libapache2-mod-php5, please?

Sure, here is the output:

libapache2-mod-php5:

Thank you very much for your help!

But the PPA you mentioned contains only PHP 5.4 packages. Are you aware of any PHP 5.3 PPA for Ubuntu?

Currently I’ve reverted back to Ubuntu precise’ channel but packages for Ubuntu contain a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1046330 due to which I had to use DotDeb’s packages. And everything worked fine for me until today.

@Jens : replace this line

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all

by

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all

Run apt-get/aptitude update and your dependency problem should be resolved.

@Guillaume

After deleting the “Hold Status” to the corresponding PHP5(3/4) packages and run “aptitude full-upgrade” I unfortunately got this:

root@server2 ~ # aptitude full-upgrade

So it seems, that changing the source line (from “squeeze” into “stable”) has no effect because the system want absolutely install the PHP 5.4 version…

And this now:

Sorry I would do this, but how?

@Jens : look for the “http://packages.dotdeb.org/ stable” pattern in /etc/apt/sources.list*

Sorry to bother you again but after comment out all the corresponding lines in the “sources.list and clearing the cache the same messages comes up.

Here is the current sources.list:

and so on…

@Jens : any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d? Did you run apt-get update or aptitude update?

Oh yeah. That was the trick!

On /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ there was a file called “dotdeb.list”. After comment out the two lines

#deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all
#deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all

and running

aptitude update
aptitude full-upgrade

all the dependency errors disappeared.

But this means now, that “only” the official Debian Squeeze updates are possible, not the repo from your beautiful dotdeb site, right?

How could I resolve this?

@Jens : Dotdeb works with Wheezy and Squeeze, just follow these instructions : http://localhost:8080/instructions/

“# Dotdeb Mirror

# deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all
# deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all”

I think you should use squeeze instead stable because squeeze is now oldstable.

O.K. now. Have deleted the “dotdeb.list” anbd renewed the sources.list. Then aptitude update and aptitude full-upgrade…

Works like a charm now.

Again many thanks for the amazing support. Have a great week!

I’ve followed your guys’ advice but my php still isn’t working! Actually it has broken my whole web server…

@Dee : “my php still isn’t working” < Could you be more specific? What are you running? What do you want to do? What is exactly the problem? Feel free to read this : http://localhost:8080/2012/08/24/how-to-post-useful-bug-reports/

“The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form”

Using PHP 5.4.15-1~dotdeb.2 and Nginx
max upload is set to 2GB in both php.ini and nginx conf, phpinfo confims this.
Have read that it could be a PHP bug and a patch can be compiled with it, is that the case or? 🙂

No mather tried another script there was no error in uploading the file so probally a coding error.

Hi.

I have a question about iconv.
There are two bugs making iconv unusable:
PHP: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63450&edit=1
glibc: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13541
As far as i know, they can be eliminated, when iconv is compiled with libiconv.

Do You have any plans to use libiconv instead of glibc in iconv, or at least to compile php without compiled in iconv (iconv as external extension) to make us able to replace iconv with self compiled version (using libiconv) without recompile whole php?

Regards
Daniel

@Alex : ok, but what do you want to do? Upgrade to PHP 5.4? If so, be sure to remove php5-suhosin before any further move, this package doesn’t exist for PHP 5.4. And use a APT frontend such as aptitude or dselect to know which dependency prevents you from upgrading your box.

Thanks for your work, Guillaume!

Can we get php5-pinba back on Wheezy as well? This one is missing comparing to Squeeze branch…

Would be nice if there was also igbinary module included

Second that(igbinary module would be nice)

@Guillaume: I am on Wheezy but we have an application that still requires PHP 5.3. I was wondering… is there a tutorial or some hints how I could recompile+package your PHP5.3 Squeeze release for Wheezy – the “Debian way”? Thanks so much for your help.

Alex : keeping/adding the Squeeze-related entries in your sources.list (to satisfy dependencies) and installing/freezing PHP 5.3 packages from Squeeze should work.
If you want to build packages anyway, the combo would be apt-get build-dep php5 and dpkg-buildpackage.

@Pawel & @BaT : I have a local git branch with that support, but after two week-ends of work on it, I can’t figure why and how the Debian packaging macros are stripping some symbols from my binaries, leading to a non-working feature.

Thanks for the quick reply! I tried pinning apt to dotdeb oldstable for PHP5, but received dependencies errors:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php5 : Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.3.25-1~dotdeb.0) but it is not going to be installed or
libapache2-mod-php5filter (>= 5.3.25-1~dotdeb.0) but it is not going to be installed or
php5-cgi (>= 5.3.25-1~dotdeb.0) but it is not going to be installed or
php5-fpm (>= 5.3.25-1~dotdeb.0) but it is not going to be installed

PHP5.3 from Squeeze doesn’t show any dependencies issues, but it misses php5-fpm.

Following your advice, would this be the right approach? :

1. Add deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org oldstable all to sources.list
2. Pin PHP5 and libapache2-mod-php5 to oldstable
3. do apt-get source php5 (it would fetch the sources from git://git.debian.org/pkg-php/php.git)
4. do apt-get build-dep php5
5. do dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

@Alex : use an APT frontend such as dselect or aptitude to know which dependencies prevent to stick to 5.3.25-1~dotdeb.0.

About building your packages, that’s right except that the source packages will be downloaded from http://packages.dotdeb.org/ oldstable (more recent).

@Guillaume, the missing dependencies are caused by Wheeze missing libdb4.8 and libssl0.9.8. If you previously upgraded Squeeze to Wheezy, then you’ll still have these (obsolete) packages installed, and in turn dotdeb’s oldstable PHP 5.3 would install. But on a fresh Wheezy install, those packages are missing and hence the missing dependencies errors:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php5-fpm : Depends: libdb4.8 but it is not installable
Depends: libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8m-1) but it is not installable

Any ideas for a quick fix or is recompiling from source still my best option here? I guess I could even install those two missing packages from the Squeeze repo, but not sure if that’s considered a hack. 😉

@Alex :

That’s why I said to add Squeeze-related entries in the sources.list of your freshly-installed Wheezy boxes.

Or you can stick to Squeeze, its security support will last at least a year.

Ahhh, indeed! Sorry, sometimes I am really slow. FWIW, I tried compiling PHP 5.3 Dotdeb on Wheezy, but dpkg-buildpackage ran into issues so I gave up.

Hi! Please get php5-pinba back to wheezy! Or write what can I do to help you with it 🙂

I have problem when install php5-apc, but “php5-fpm”, “php5-curl”, “php5-gd”, “php5-mcrypt”, “php5-mysql”, “php5-sqlite” installed OK
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php5-apc : Depends: phpapi-20100525
Depends: php5-common (= 5.4.18-1~dotdeb.1) but 5.5.1-1~dotdeb.1 is to be installed

deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php55 all

In old version Debian 6 all working very good

@Pavel : there’s no php5-apc for PHP 5.5, you have to uninstall it before upgrading. Don’t worry, opcache is now included in php5-common. And if you need a user cache, install php5-apcu.

The deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all saved my night
Thanks @Guillaume

Cheers,
Max
