I am trying to install php 5.4 in ubuntu 12.10 but its not working. I keep getting php5 is already the newest version. (5.3.10).

I tried to add the ondrej/php5-oldstable but still, it wont do the upgrade.

I have done sudo apt-get-update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

This is the result of

 apt-cache policy php5

:



php5:

  Installed: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3

  Candidate: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3

  Package pin: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3

  Version table:

     5.4.6-1ubuntu1.7 991

        500 http://pt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/main amd64 Packages

        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/main amd64 Packages

 *** 5.3.10-1ubuntu3 991

        500 http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The output of apt-cache policy php5 clearly shows that the package php5 was pinned to a specific version.

php5:

  Installed: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3

  Candidate: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3

  Package pin: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3

You have to unpin the package, so that it would be upgradeable.

Run the below command to unpin the php5 package,

sudo apt-mark unhold php5

Then try to update that package,

sudo apt-get install php5
