PHP5-FPM (PHP 5.5) won't install - can't install libsystemd-daemon0

Question

My server is down because I don't know how to fix this. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 I use this PHP5 repository: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php5/ubuntu precise main

I've never had a problem until today. A few hours ago, I did an apt-get upgrade and everything went fine until it reached the PHP5-FPM portion:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: php5-fpm : Depends: libsystemd-daemon0 (>= 31) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried to install libsystemd-daemon0 but I get a notice that it has no installation candidate. Can someone tell me how to fix this without me pulling what's left of my hair out?

Solution 1

From this moment, the solution should very easy, just do:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Since it seems that adding another PPAs is too complicated, I have merged all necessary packages into the main repository, so this should not happen anymore.

Edit: JFTR the php5-fpm no longer depends on any systemd component, so it can be installed without the hassle of pulling libsystemd-daemon0.

Solution 2

For anyone (like me) who encountered this and used the repository ppa:ondrej/php5, you'll need their systemd repository as well to get this with apt-get.

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/systemd
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y php5-fpm

Fixed it: wget ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/systemd/… .. dpkg -i *.deb .. apt-get install php5-fpm

The package is there, but it's overridden by the package in the main Ubuntu repository (for Ubuntu raring). Right now you need to either use apt pinning (man apt_preferences) or manually install the php5-geoip package from the repository. I will think of the way how to override default Ubuntu package in meanwhile.

See my answer below, this is no longer necessary.

Thanks! One less thing to worry about in deploy scripts.

With the latest update, on precise I get php5-fpm : Depends: sysv-rc (>= 2.88dsf-24) but 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu11 is to be installed or file-rc (>= 0.8.16) but it is not installable

This should be also OK now, since the php-geoip packages' version is now higher than main Ubuntu version of php-geiop.

@D-Rock This has been fixed in 5.5.1+dfsg-2+debphp.org~<dist>+2, the php5-fpm package no longer depends on neither systemd nor too new sysv-rc.
