horde3 has a dependency to phpapi-20020918 anyway. If you are correct here it should be removed. > So I do not think this is a good solution, or do you have some other > information on what the current policy is? Unfortunately no. I've taken a quick look at the packages/bugs but was unable to figure this out. That's why I've written you should probably contact the php maintainers. > I think it is pretty good to depend on php4 and php5 directly as > it has been seen that it is not trivial to switch.

May be you'll face some troubles if you have e.g. heavily modified configs, or apps that depend on functions/flags/config options/etc. that have changed in php5. I'm planning the upgrade to php5, so I'll probably find it out anyway ;) On the other side I've installed several new system with php5 only. Cheers, Delian
