[Bug 1069138] Re: After upgrading to 12.10 I can't install PHP 5.3
The distributions (Ubuntu and Debian) provide only the latest upstream release. You should upgrade to PHP 5.4, or you will have to compiled PHP from sources if you want to use 5.3.x version (which is being phased out by upstream). This is actually not a bug, but a request for a feature which is not generaly available in Debian/Ubuntu.

[Bug 1069138] Re: After upgrading to 12.10 I can't install PHP 5.3
Thank you for your report. New Ubuntu releases are supposed to carry updated packages. If you need packages to remain at a particular version then the recommended way of doing this is to continue using the Ubuntu release that contains them. To help you with this, regular releases are supported for 18 months, and LTS releases are supported for five years. By upgrading, you chose to upgrade all the packages on your system. I'm sorry if you didn't realise this. In your case, as the php package you need is available in 12.04 which happens to be an LTS, you can carry on using 12.04 to have your required php version with security updates until 2017. Alternatively, you could use 12.10 on your own machine but do your development in an lxc container, virtual machine or cloud instance on 12.04. I understand the difficulty you're facing and hope that this gives you some alternatives. But since the upgrade of php in 12.10 is by design and in line with the Ubuntu release process, it is not a bug and so I am marking this bug as Invalid. However, please do continue to report any other bugs that you might find. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069138 Title: After upgrading to 12.10 I can't install PHP 5.3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1069138/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
