Precisely. Aptitude is the culprit here. I've switched our package manager
to apt which is more conservative and it does not remove the packages when
upgrading php, which, for now is a workable solution. I need to find the
time to put this in as Debian bug and see what they say.
I can't see a plausible explanation for why requesting an upgrade to one
package could feasibly result in the removal of the same package (same
thing happens if you upgrade an extension first).
e.g.
root@vps814:/home/cadre/stresler# aptitude install php5-mysql
The following packages will be upgraded:
php5-common php5-mysql
2 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 29 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/633 kB of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php5-xsl: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.3-7+squeeze14) but
5.3.3-7+squeeze17 is to be installed.
libapache2-mod-php5: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.3-7+squeeze14) but
5.3.3-7+squeeze17 is to be installed.
php5-mcrypt: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.3-7+squeeze14) but
5.3.3-7+squeeze17 is to be installed.
php5-cgi: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.3-7+squeeze14) but
5.3.3-7+squeeze17 is to be installed.
php5-cli: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.3-7+squeeze14) but
5.3.3-7+squeeze17 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) libapache2-mod-php5
2) php-apc
3) php-pear
4) php5
5) php5-adodb
6) php5-cgi
7) php5-cli
8) php5-imagick
9) php5-mcrypt
10) php5-memcache
11) php5-memcached
12) php5-mysql
13) php5-suhosin
14) php5-xsl
#12 on that list is the package I am requesting be upgraded/installed. How
can its removal ever be an intended result?
