Can't get latest PHP or Pear in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

  • 772

I'm attempting to install PEAR, and other components.. but getting the following.

$ sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
php5-mysql is already the newest version.
php5-mysql set to manually installed.
libapache2-mod-php5 is already the newest version.
libapache2-mod-php5 set to manually installed.
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 : Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.5.11+dfsg-2+deb.sury.org~precise+1) but 5.5.10+dfsg-1+deb.sury.org~precise+1 is to be installed or
                 libapache2-mod-php5filter (>= 5.5.11+dfsg-2+deb.sury.org~precise+1) but it is not going to be installed or
                 php5-cgi (>= 5.5.11+dfsg-2+deb.sury.org~precise+1) but it is not going to be installed or
                 php5-fpm (>= 5.5.11+dfsg-2+deb.sury.org~precise+1) but 5.5.10+dfsg-1+deb.sury.org~precise+1 is to be installed
        Depends: php5-common (>= 5.5.11+dfsg-2+deb.sury.org~precise+1) but 5.5.10+dfsg-1+deb.sury.org~precise+1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've done the instructions found on here , for getting the PPA setup for PHP 5.5 .. and I'm unclear how to proceed.

    Make sure that you have run sudo apt-get update before running sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql because it will update the package lists so that the latest software can be installed.
