While installing PHP modules using apt-get utility on Ubuntu system, you may end up with following error:
php5-common 5.3.2-1ubuntu4 but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed
The above error occurs because the package php5 (5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2) is present on your system bu apt-get utitlity is either trying to install module of higher or lower version.
Solution:
To resolve the issue, download the PHP module manually from canonical archive.
While downloading the module, make sure that it contains "5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2" with correct OS bit else it will not work.
Example:
# apt-get install php5-ldap
..
..
php5-common 5.3.2-1ubuntu4 but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed
# wget http://www.archive.canonical.com/pool/public/p/php5/php5-ldap_5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2_i386.deb
# dpkg -i php5-ldap_5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2_i386.deb
# php -m
That's it!
