Evidently you've upgraded to a newer version of apache than the one in stable (1.3.9-13.1), so you'll need to find a comparable version of php4 to go with it. If you're upgrading apache to unstable (which incidentally now has 1.3.14-2.1), then why not get php4 from there as well? >Now this webpage http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/php4.html says > >apache-common (>= 1.3.9) > Support files for all Apache webservers >apache-common (<< 1.3.9.1) > Support files for all Apache webservers > >Is'nt this a contradiction? No, it means it depends on some version of apache-common between 1.3.9 (inclusive) and 1.3.9.1, such as 1.3.9-13.1. (Debian policy describes how version numbers are compared.) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
