How to install php5-gd on ubuntu?

  • 772

I'm running ubuntu 10.04.

I just ran the command, 

sudo apt-get install php5-gd

but it gave me this error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  php5-gd: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4) but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.5 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

When tried an apt-get install on php5-common, but it says i already have the most recent version. How do i install php5-gd?

Additional Info Here's what I see after doing a sudo apt-get update | grep main

  1. Best Answer

    Update package index files(current php5-common 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.7):

    $ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install php5-gd

    Check follow string in /etc/apt/sources.list:

    deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted

    Fix:

    $ sudo -s
# echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get update
# apt-get install php5-gd

  2. you probably just forgot to do sudo apt-get update

    if that doesnt work for you try sudo apt-get update && apt-get -f install

    if that doesnt work either you probably messed up your sources of something

    last ultima ratio which is not recommended is to force it by something like dpkg -i --force-depends-version but you should rather try to fix the issue.

    without more information i unfortunately cant help you any further.
