[Solved] php-xsl on Mercury 1.1

Posted by nullvariable on July 30, 2010 at 3:58pm

Maybe someone knows the answer to the issue that I'm having right now. Mercury 1.1 uses PHP 5.2 instead of 5.3 so you can't install php-xsl the normal way (sudo apt-get php5-xsl), kicks out this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  php5-xsl: Depends: phpapi-20090626+lfs
            Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2) but 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Anyone know how to fix that?

solution appears to be as follows:

cd ~/
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/p/php5/php5-xsl_5.2.10.dfsg.1...
sudo dpkg -i php5-xsl_5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6_i386.deb
rm php5-xsl_5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6_i386.deb

Sounds like you may have an older /etc/apt/preferences.d/lucid file. This is the file where we pin php5 packages to 5.2 (since many drupal modules still have issues with PHP 5.3). An earlier version of this file didn't have all the php5 packages.

The latest file is located here: http://pantheon-storage.chapterthree.com/lucid

Hope this helps,

Greg

I've latest lucid file but I am not able to install mcrypt and phpmyadmin, and running into following errors

~$ sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
Reading package lists... Done

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:
  phpmyadmin: Depends: php5-mcrypt but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

~$ sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt

Package php5-mcrypt is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package php5-mcrypt has no installation candidate

I'm not sure if it's mercury related issue or ubuntu lucid bug:

I have this same issue.
Googling seems to show that an awful lot of people have trouble getting mcrypt to install on lucid when using php5.2.

The following page has a bunch of people complaining of the same thing in the comments but someone does give instructions on manually installing if that helps you at all:
