where did you get php 4.0.5-2 from? woody uses php 4.1 last I checked.
if your using a 3rd party deb package and you want to override the
packging system(which is usually a bad idea but sometimes its needed
to convince it that the configuration is working..backup the files and
do it at your own risk!!). it's pretty easy, just edit the
/var/lib/dpkg/status file and remove the dependencies of the
package by removing the packages it depends upon or changing the
version number of them. again this is risky and I would only do it
as a last resort.
ideally, recompile php4 4.0.5 if thats really what you want to use
on that system with the new apache and it should work ..provided
you have the sources to it! if you don't and you trust me, I do
have the sources to php 4.0.5 I had to use it for squirrelmail
for a long time, the sources are from around april 2001 so they
are vulnerable to the php bugs that have come out since ..but
they are the original debian files from the time ..I had to
get them seperately because I needed php4 compiled with the
option --with-qtdom for a web application I use(ezPublish), and
kept the sources around "just incase" I needed them again(and I
did, several times ..)
