[Gllug] phpmyadmin and Debian

[Adrian McMenamin]

I have to confess to not really being up to speed with Debian - even if
I use it's Ubuntu cousin on all my machines at home.

I have a remote (amd64) server I administer and have just upgraded
various packages (over due a few months - but I thought all was up to
date as I was neglecting to run apt-get update).

Anyway, the dist-upgrade has removed all the phpmyadmin files and when I
try to reinstall I get this:

adrian at transpero:/var/www$ sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  phpmyadmin: Depends: php4 (>= 4.1.0) but it is not going to be
installed or
                       php4-cgi (>= 4.1.0) but it is not going to be
installed or
                       php5 but it is not going to be installed or
                       php5-cgi but it is not going to be installed or
                       php5-fcgi but it is not installable
              Depends: php4-mysql but it is not going to be installed or
                       php5-mysql but it is not going to be installed or
                       php5-mysqli but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

I can find nothing via google about this ... can someone offer me some
clues or is it, as it says, a bug?
