Install Previous Version of PHP Package from Debian Testing Using Apt
- by Metric Scantlings
Is there a way to install an older Debian testing repository version of a package using apt-get?
Specifically, I am looking to install the latest version of PHP 5.2.x on Debian Lenny.
The last time I set up an environment, 5.2.12 just happened to be the version in Debian testing. That was perfect, convenient. Now, testing is at 5.3.x which won't work for my purposes, and my attempts at sudo apt-get -t testing install php5=5.2.12* are answered with E: Version '5.2.12*' for 'php5' was not found.
