Done E: Couldn't find package apache-dev At this point I feel that running the 'apt-get build-dep' command with all 7 problem packages and say 'Y' to installation of those dependent packages I should then be able to start over with the PH5 install and it should then install correctly wouldn't it? What would be the best solution to working around this issue? Thank you for your help Regards
Please run: apt-get update and try to install the php packages again. If this still does not work, post the content of /etc/apt/sources.list
Thank you Till... I ran 'apt-get update' then attempted re-installing PHP5 and it's modules with the same results.

I removed the duplicate entry in '/etc/apt/sources.list', re-ran 'apt-get update' then 'apt-get-upgrade'. After running those commands though I am still in the same boat, when I attempt to install PHP5 and it's packages- The installation fails with the same error. Thanking you in advance for your time and help... Regards
Why did you add the dotdeb repository to your sources.list? Gutsy comes with MySQL5 and PHP5, so there's no need for the dotdeb packages.
'Why did you add the dotdeb repository to your sources.list?' Assumptive I guess, I just thought it would be needed as in Dapper... Anyhow thank you Falko- that resolved my issue and PHP5 is installing smoothly now <@;-) Regards

It's a bit of a dilemma because I tried downgrading the php version before but failed. Since I have a cron job, which runs apt-get update every week and apt-get -S uprade (cant remember the exact parameter for simulate) and emails me the output, so that i can upgrade if necessary, it would be nice, if I wouldn always get an email saying, that apt-get failed etc. I would like to only bother logging in when I know it is necessary to do an upgrade. Please help. I've been stuck on this for ages now.
