PHP upgrade after installing phpmyadmin

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I had a Debian Server with Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3

I installed phpmyadmin (sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin).

Now, the versions of Apache and PHP have been upgrade (2.4/5.6)

Is this possible? How can I avoid this?

Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3 were the versions available in Debian Squeeze (Debian 6). Your /etc/apt/sources.list points to both Squeeze and Jessie (Debian 8), so when you asked to install phpmyadmin, apt-get automatically picked the latest acceptable version and its dependencies; these were taken from Jessie.

To avoid this in future, you need to remove the jessie lines from /etc/apt/sources.list, and ideally add those for Squeeze LTS (see Using LTS for details) to get some security support. You'll need to manually revert phpmyadmin and its dependencies; apt-show-versions">versions can be used to identify packages which don't match Squeeze.
