Andrew, use php4 from stable, testing seems to have an older version than stable. see http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&keywords=php4 stable: php4 4:4.1.2-6 (568.8k) testing: php4 4:4.1.2-4 (567.1k) unstable: php4 4:4.2.3-14 (615.2k)
if you need php 4.2 try those unoffical packages: http://debian.moolfreet.com/ I just installed php4 from there. philipp ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Prior" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2003 4:31 PM Subject: Unable to build php4: conflicting dependancies > Hi, > I've been trying to build php4 from source in the testing distro, and > it's been failing for a while due to (it appears) conflicting build > dependancies. > > ------------------------------- > $ apt-get -b source php4 > Reading Package Lists...
