After that, the package php4 fails with an errormessage in /var/log/apache/error.log:PHP Fatal error: Unable to start session mm module in Unknown on line 0This looks very much like a bug that keeps reoccuring with PHP - frankly I'm surprised it was working at all on PowerPC. Apparently increasing shared memory limits is a workaround sometimes.
I've seen this workaround being tried on the alpha platform but as far as I can see this does not work for powerpc. What changed between 1.1.3-6 and 1.1.3-7 that breaks php in this case? Maybe a /usr/doc/libmm in the future releases of libmm might be a good idea (didn't I see a bugreport for that somewhere? ;-).
I've never been able to reproduce this directly with MM and it seems to be an issue widely reported in the PHP BTS so I'm reassigning this to the PHP pacakge and merging it with an existing bug reporting the same issue.
