Because you asked it to. Package: php3 Version: 1:3.0.5-2 Priority: optional Section: web Maintainer: Gergely Madarasz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Depends: libc6, libgdbmg1, zlib1g (>= 1.1.1), mime-support (>= 2.13-1), apache-common (>= 1.3.3), apache-common (<< 1.3.3.1) It told you in as bold a way that it could that a held package was being effected in response to your request. If you don't want to change the held package then do not install php3. This is not an APT bug. Jason
