I’m trying to install xdebug on a Debian squeeze with PHP 5.3.9. Both the php5-xdebug package and php-dev (which has phpize, which is necessary for manual installation) are based on PHP 5.3.13. How can I install xdebug if I do not want to update the PHP version? (I tried to build PHP manually to get phpize, but ended up in dependency hell with libxml and libssh and whatnot missing.)

    There should be no probs, i guess. I have php 5.3.3-7+squeeze9 installed, just downloaded php5-xdebug (2.1.0-1) from http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/php5-xdebug and dpkg -i’d it – no hicups. Maybe your apt configuration is screwed up?

    Edit: Sorry, now i see that xdebug depends on phpapi-20090626+lfs (or phpapi-20090626 without +lfs, depending on the architecture), but i dunno which api your 5.3.9 provides. Find out with 

    dpkg -s php5-cgi | grep ^Provides:

    or one of

    dpkg -s php5-cli | grep ^Provides:
dpkg -s plibapache2-mod-php5 | grep ^Provides:
dpkg -s plibapache2-mod-php5filter | grep ^Provides:

    and then find the right version of xdebug for it.
