Hi, theres a new development

I was able to overcome previous problem by doing apt-get upgrade, and plesk did install and work successfully after that. However, that being a fresh Debian 3.1 install, I ended up with PHP4 and I require PHP5 ..

So I put these in my sources.list and installed PHP5

deb [url]http://packages.dotdeb.org[/url] stable all
deb-src [url]http://packages.dotdeb.org[/url] stable all

After that plesk stopped working, so I tried to re-install it again, and now installation breaks down with this message:

Checking whether the package dependencies are resolved.
E: Broken packages
ERROR: Unable to install packages because of package dependency problems.
Not all packages were installed.
Please, contact product technical support.

And here's my sources.list:

deb [url]http://ftp.freenet.de/debian[/url] stable main contrib non-free
deb [url]http://security.debian.org[/url] stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb [url]http://packages.dotdeb.org[/url] stable all
deb-src [url]http://packages.dotdeb.org[/url] stable all

I did try apt-get update and upgrade, didn't work still.

Please help!

stable = etch

change all stable to sarge in your /etc/apt/sources.list

but warning if you already done a update / upgrade you maybe have now parts of etch installed ...

(etch = debian 4.0 | sarge = debian 3.1)

i suggest you to do a fresh install again and change your /etc/apt/sources.list as the first step ...

Danliker, thanks a lot - that did help to some extent (last time I was installing this sarge was stable

However, I have new strange issues --

i install php5 instead of 4 using dotdeb packages, everything works .. Then I install plesk, install goes smooth, but after it installs, even though everything works, my php is rolled back to v4.. So i install the dotdeb packages again, get PHP5, but plesk doesn't work after that! So i install plesk, and my php5 is gone, and I get php4 again ..

Is there a way to have plesk and PHP5 on sarge?

Thanks a lot.
