PHP 5.4.15 & PHP 5.3.25 / for Wheezy & Squeeze

May 12, 2013 · Guillaume Plessis

On May 9th 2013, the PHP group has released PHP 5.4.15 and PHP 5.3.25.

These releases fix about 10 bugs aswell as upgrading the bundled libmagic library. All users of PHP are encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.4.15.

The corresponding packages are now available on Dotdeb :

for Debian 7.0 “Wheezy” and Debian 6.0 “Squeeze”,
on both amd64 and i386 architectures.

Please note that the php5-ffmpeg and php5-pinba packages for PHP 5.4 are missing on Wheezy. They should appear in the next few days, after their source code has been made compatible with Debian’s multi-arch scheme.

As usual, please read the ChangeLog before upgrading and be sure to use to the latest packages before reporting any issue. And if you want to support Dotdeb, take a look at this page.

Michael May 12, 2013
As always: Thank you very much for all your efforts, Guillaume! :)
Rodrigo May 12, 2013
I had problems with memcache extension after the update
Rodrigo May 13, 2013
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
- Guillaume Plessis May 13, 2013
  @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
Sergei Morozov May 13, 2013
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?
- Anthony Somerset May 13, 2013
  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
  - Denis May 13, 2013
    Thanks, the tip to change the sources.list for squeeze has helped me.
Rodrigo May 13, 2013
@Guillaume Thanks. I think is not correct to report this in the comments i’ll use the github issue queue in the future
Sergei Morozov May 13, 2013
@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?
- Anthony Somerset May 13, 2013
  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
  - Anthony Somerset May 13, 2013
    most specifically for php5 in ubuntu - https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5
    - Sergei Morozov May 13, 2013
      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 May 13, 2013
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 5.3.25-1dotdeb.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 (= 5.4.15-1dotdeb.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

  @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?
Jens May 13, 2013
Sure, here is the output:

  @Jens : replace this line
```

```
  by
```

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

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…

  @Jens : any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d? Did you run apt-get update or aptitude update?
Jens May 13, 2013
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?
- Guillaume Plessis May 13, 2013
  @Jens : Dotdeb works with Wheezy and Squeeze, just follow these instructions : /instructions/
tux May 13, 2013
“# 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.
Jens May 13, 2013
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!

“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? :)

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…
Pawel June 1, 2013
Would be nice if there was also igbinary module included
- BaT June 2, 2013
  Second that(igbinary module would be nice)
  - Guillaume Plessis June 5, 2013
    @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.
Alex June 5, 2013
@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.
- Guillaume Plessis June 5, 2013
  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.
Alex June 5, 2013
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
- Guillaume Plessis June 5, 2013
  @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).
Alex June 5, 2013
@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. ;)
- Guillaume Plessis June 5, 2013
  @Alex : > But on a fresh Wheezy install, those packages are missing and hence the missing dependencies errors
  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.
Alex June 5, 2013
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.
Pavel June 6, 2013
Hi! Please get php5-pinba back to wheezy! Or write what can I do to help you with it :)

- Guillaume Plessis August 23, 2013
  @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
