Well, did some research and founf apt preferences does the trick.
So I have created /etc/apt/preferences.d/php and added
` ` ` `
Package: php5*
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900
` ` ` `
where as the sources list have
` ` ` `
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
` ` ` `
But apt still installs the 5.4 version of php not 5.3.
Any clue please ?
Thanks
