Installing PHP

Ok, here are the steps: apt-get install libbz2-1.0 apt-get install ucf dpkg -i libdb4.4_4.4.20-2bpo1_sparc.deb dpkg -i --force-all libxml2_2.6.27.dfsg-1_sparc.deb dpkg -i php5-common_5.2.0-8+etch7_sparc.deb dpkg -i --force-all libapache2-mod-php5_5.2.0-8+etch7_sparc.deb You need to download all those deb packages from the official debian package repository. Those includes sarge-backports and etch. Please remember, do not replace the libc6 package! I haven't try that, but I guess it will brick the system if tried.

anyone have any ideas why i get the following error when executing dpkg -i libdb4.4_4.4.20-2bpo1_sparc.deb?

ReadyNAS-NV:/etc/apt# dpkg -i libdb4.4_4.4.20-2bpo1_sparc.deb
dpkg: error processing libdb4.4_4.4.20-2bpo1_sparc.deb (--install):

ReadyNAS-NV:/etc/apt#

everything prior to that step worked fine... but i'm a linux noob, so not sure if i am missing some basic linux steps :?

here's what i did so far:

i followed the Installing apt (Advanced Packaging Tool) guide at http://www.infrant.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14513 ,before i noticed the ADDON for it on the main sticky. So i read that thread, and saw the differences in manually doing it as i did, and using the addon. so i edited my sources.list to add deb http://www.infrant.com/packages readynas/

so it now reads:

ReadyNAS-NV:/etc/apt# cat sources.list
deb http://www.infrant.com/packages readynas/

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian oldstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US oldstable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org oldstable/updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian oldstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US oldstable/non-US main contrib non-free
ReadyNAS-NV:/etc/apt#

apt-get install libbz2-1.0 & apt-get install ucf worked fine, but i am stuck with the above error.

I also added:

ReadyNAS-NV:/etc/apt# cat preferences
Package: libc6
Pin: version 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge6.infrant1
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: libc6-dev
Pin: version 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge6.infrant1
Pin-Priority: 1001
ReadyNAS-NV:/etc/apt#

as suggested by btaroli in the post above mine, so i don't accidentally break anything

So any advise would be appreciated :)

edit: after reading this thread a few times, i think my problem is cause i don't have the correct/addtional debian package repositories in the sources.list. correct my if i am wrong.. gonna see if i can figure it out on my own, unless someone replies :)

edit #2: i used an alternate method i guess... used WinSCP to copy the .deb files manually to var/cache/apt/archive then installed them via Putty. Dunno if it works, but it's installed :)

does this look okay?
