Question

I am trying to install php5-curl on my ubuntu-server 64bit but it said like this

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php5-curl : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.10-1ubuntu3) but 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

In one of the forum, I found that it is because of incificcent disk space .So,I tried this command.

df -Th

Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 ext4 462G 283G 157G 65% /
udev devtmpfs 2.0G 4.0K 2.0G 1% /dev

none tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /run/shm

Seem to be many availabe space yet but still can’t process

I already tried apt-get install clean && upgrade/update

Nothing help

Try this first:

sudo apt-get -f install

If it does not work:

Uninstall php5 and try:

sudo apt-get autoclean

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get autoremove

Force remove package (if needed)

sudo dpkg --remove -force --force-remove-reinstreq <package name>

Try install php5 again.

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get install <package name>
