In any case it seems you had php5 installed and removed it somewhere along the line. If you don't use php, you can safely remove all those packages, some of the ones listed are replaced by updated versions (different name). If you use php, I suggest you install the package 'php5', this will stop the php related packages from being removed, otherwise these can be removed. Regards, Steven
