Bug#668739: PHP: Unable to load dynamic library suhosin.so

[Frank Lin PIAT <fpiat@klabs.be>]

Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

After upgrading to wheezy, PHP will produce error like this (in web
server's log, on PHP command line, in mail from Cron Daemon...),
if php5-suhosin was installed in squeeze before the upgrade.

> PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
> '/usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/suhosin.so' -
> /usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/suhosin.so: cannot open shared object file:
> No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Reason why it happen:
  php5-suhosin depends on an obsolete version of phpapi-20090626+lfs
  so php5-suhosin is removed during the upgrade... but the PHP config
  snippet /etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini isn't purged... so PHP still
  try to load the module suhosin.so.

The release notes should document that the user should:
  dpkg -P php5-suhosin


Regards,

Franklin

P.S. php5-suhosin seems to still being work on in unstable.
     if it is reintroduced in testing it's likely to solve the problem.
