Bug#183477: libc6's conflict against php4 is pretty much bogus and useless
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-14
Severity: normal
libc6 has the following conflict: php4 (<< 4:4.2.3-5), to work around what
appeared to be a linking bug in php4 in the 4.2.3 series of the packages.
The versions of php4 in stable and testing (4:4.1.2-X) don't exhibit this
problem, and the current versions in unstable don't either, so essentially
this conflict makes partial upgrades more difficult for the sake of conflicting
against a package that was never in a formal release and is no longer in the
archive.
The conflict can (should) be removed, and it certainly won't do any harm to
do so at this point.
