I tried following commands but after running these commands I got upgraded from PHP 5.5.23 to PHP 5.5.24. I want to upgrade to PHP 5.5.25 which is a latest stable released version.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Please suggest me the way to upgrade my system to the latest stable release of PHP i.e. PHP 5.5.25

Thanks.

@muru: Following is the output of 

php5:

  • @kos: My question is not a duplicate of How do I install latest PHP in supported Ubuntu versions (like 5.4.x in Ubuntu 12.04)? because I've done the same thing mentioned in the answer of this question but still I'm not getting upgraded to the latest stable released version of PHP i.e. 5.5.25 – PHPLover May 24 '15 at 12:20
  • What is the output of `apt-cache policy php5`? [Edit] your question and add it. – muru May 24 '15 at 12:21
  • Yes I'm sorry, I retracted my close vote. Most likely 5.5.25 is not in that repository yet. Let me check this – kos May 24 '15 at 12:21
  • @kos it's there alright: `5.5.25+dfsg-1+deb.sury.org~precise+1` is the PPA's version of `php5`. – muru May 24 '15 at 12:22
  • @muru: For you I've appended the output of apt-cache policy php5 to my question body. – PHPLover May 24 '15 at 12:24
  • @muru Yes but the latest build failed for all versions: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php5/+packages?batch=75&memo=75&start=75 – kos May 24 '15 at 12:24
  • @kos in that case we should contact the maintainer. – muru May 24 '15 at 12:26
  • Hey folks isn't there any other way to achieve this? – PHPLover May 24 '15 at 12:28

    @muru I think he's aware already? I don't know how private repositories are handled. @ OP In short, until the mantainer is able to build the package successfully, you can always compile PHP yourself – kos May 24 '15 at 12:32

    JFTR launchpad team broke alternative dependency handling (there was locales-all | language-pack-de before) between php 5.5.24 and 5.5.25 and launchpad doesn't send an error email in case the build is waiting for dependency, so the only way to know that something broke is to check the PPAs by hand (or by getting notified by other people). P.S.: I voted close since I don't think that the "Contact user" button on https://launchpad.net/~ondrej deserves a separate question on AskUbuntu... – oerdnj May 25 '15 at 11:23

At the time of the question, PHP 5.5.25's package was broken on the repository.

Quoting Ondřej Surý's comment to the question:

JFTR launchpad team broke alternative dependency handling (there was locales-all | language-pack-de before) between php 5.5.24 and 5.5.25 [...].

Thanks to hbdgaf, who kindly asked Ondřej Surý about this on Launchpad, and thanks to Ondřej Surý, who kindly fixed this, quoting Ondřej Surý's response:

Lovely, launchpad broke it the builds.

I have patched the packages to not depend on locales-all.

Cheers, Ondrej

The package is now fixed and you should be able to install it using sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade php5.

  • I tried sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade php5 but still the PHP is not upgraded to 5.5.25. Following is the output after executing this command :Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done php5 is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. – PHPLover May 26 '15 at 02:50

    I suspect you didn't `sudo apt-get update` first – RobotHumans May 26 '15 at 10:26
  • @PHPLover What hbdgaf said, after `sudo apt-get update` `PHP 5.5.25` shows up as a candidate for `PHP 5.5` in my `apt-cache policy php5` output. – kos May 26 '15 at 11:05
