Background info: I'm actually trying to install/upgrade xdebug.
sudo pecl install xdebug yields:
downloading xdebug-2.0.5.tgz ...
Starting to download xdebug-2.0.5.tgz (289,234 bytes)
............................................................done: 289,234 bytes
67 source files, building
running: phpize
sh: phpize: not found
ERROR: `phpize' failed
A quick google tells me that phpize is a part of a package called php5-dev, so off I ran to install that.
My problem is that using sudo apt-get install php5-dev fails with this output:
sudo apt-get install php5-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php5-dev: Conflicts: libtool (>= 2.2) but 2.2.6a-4 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
2.2.6a-4 is greater than 2.2, so I'm not sure why it's hanging itself up at that point. I'm guessing the fact that it's not entirely numeric is throwing apt-get off?
I can probably install xdebug manually (though I've never done this before, so picture me with a deer clueless-newb in headlights look here, violently shaking my head and begging for a simpler solution) rather than via pecl / aptitude, but is there a way I can make aptitude install php5-dev despite the bogus 'broken package' claim? Is it even bogus, or am I misreading the error message?
Alternatively: Could I install phpize in some other way (e.g. via pear or pecl)?
