package management - php5 and phpmyadmin not installing



I have installed mysql, mysql-server, apache2 and many more. May be I have installed some wrong PPA or programs which cause this problem. Basically, I need to run local server (eg. for wordpress). So I need to localhost/phpmyadmin. Somehow localhost is working (it shows it's default page) but localhost/phpmyadmin not working.



When I tried to sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin, It gives following output




Reading package lists... 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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

php5-mysqli but it is not installable or
php5-mysqlnd but it is not going to be installed

When I tried sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 , It gives following error

Again, I tried to install missing phps-common by sudo apt-get install php5-commom, It shows php5-common is already it's newest version. Here is the output:

Your installed version of php5-common is incompatible with the packages you want to install.




The reason is very likely a PPA you have added, then installed a newer version of php5-common (and maybe other packages) from it and removed or disabled the PPA again.



What we must do now is to remove those "too new" versions from your package cache to prevent another accidental reinstallation of them, and then downgrade the php5-common package to the version available from the official repository:



sudo apt-get clean    
sudo apt-get install php5-common=5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.5


Only if that did not work yet, run the commands below afterwards. The last one is the same as above.




sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5-common=5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.5
