dist-upgrade

I had a server with perfectly running for months classical LAMP installation on Ubuntu 8.04:

Linux localhost 2.6.24-23-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 21:47:28 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS"

Don't know why I've started apt-get update, apt-get upgrade but everything ended with apt-get dist-upgrade :) Everything gone alright... But now I can't start nor Apache, nor PHP, because PHP was simply deleted. When I'm trying to install it:

> apt-get install php5
<...>

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  php5: Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.17) but it is not going to be installed or
                 php5-cgi (>= 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.17) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

When I'm trying to install libapache2-mod-php5:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libapache2-mod-php5: Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.17) but 5.3.6-6~dotdeb.1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I don't know what 5.3.6-6~dotdeb.1 is and where is this package, because I've already removed dotdeb repository from APT sources :/

Tried to do apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get install php5 php5-common php5-cli with no success...

Don't know what to try next :(
