I'm trying to install PHP 5.2.10 on Ubuntu 10.04 using apt-get. I used Approach 3 from this page but instead of using add-apt-repository I made a file called /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa:txwikinger.php5.2-source.list that contains the line:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/txwikinger/php5.2/ubuntu lucid main

But when I run sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get install php5, I get this result:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package php5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package php5 has no installation candidate

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Does sudo apt-get install php5.2 work? Or sudo apt-get install php? – new123456 May 14 '11 at 23:11
