Dependency issue when installing some packages with apt
- by Julien Genestoux
We have a little trouble installing some php5-* packages.
I am reallt not sure what is going on. We have the latest version
of php5-common.
# apt-get install php5-mcrypt

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-mcrypt: Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny16) but 5.2.11-0.dotdeb.0 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
We get similar error with many other php5-* packages, like php5-imap.
