When I try to install php5-intl, I got this error message. What does mean of this message? Anybody can help me to explain this message? Should I remove php5-common first? or anything else?

There is something wrong in your APT sources.

You can see that because of the version of your php5-common packages which is 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.4 whereas you php5-intl package version is only 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.

Also, your current php5-common package version comes from /var/lib/dpkg/status indicating it can not be associated to any currently known APT source.

Therefore, it could mean that you used an APT source to install php5-common and removed it after then, or that your package lists are not up to date.

I recommend:

  • checking your /etc/apt/sources.list
  • running apt-get update (it should be done before installing any package)

  • According to packages.ubuntu.com/php5-common you should get the 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.9 version for php5 packages in Trusty, and certainly not 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4 which is obsolete by 9 versions. If the apt-get update command showed no error, I would recommend you to try with another Ubuntu mirror.

According to the error message, it may be because you choose to hold some packages, forbidding them to get upgrades.

You can check for hold packages with these commands:

  • If you are using aptitude: aptitude search "~ahold"
  • If you are using apt-get: dpkg --get-selections | grep 'hold$'

  • hello progfou, i try to run aptitute search "~ahold", the output is root@dremi-ubuntu-X450JF:/var/www/html/cakephp3# aptitude search "~ahold" The program 'aptitude' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install aptitude You have new mail in /var/mail/root so, i type apt-get install aptitude. then try to apt-get install php5-intl again, still not work.

  • Well, you don't really need aptitude. If you are not using aptitude, just use the second line to check for hold packages. What is the answer from the second one?

  • the second line didn't show anything on console

  • So you don't have any hold package. It's more likely an APT source problem, hence my second answer. :-)

  • ok, but I don't know about the APT source problem.
