This was a dotdeb problem for me. After getting the ubuntu php5 packages I did not get this error.
I had dotdeb installed because I wanted updated php5-gd libraries for a Drupal install. I then couldn't install the PECL uploadprogress extension because I would get this error. -- bad symlink or missing package in php5-dev with libtool.m4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359062 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in ubuntu. -- 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
