I am trying to install php5-mysqlnd on a fresh install of Wheezy (/etc/debian_version refers to it as wheezy/sid) and I'm having a problem:

root@debian:/var/www/lottery1# apt-get install php5-mysqlnd

Errors were encountered while processing:
 php5-mysqlnd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

It seems there is some sort of conflict with the php5-mysql package, but I still get this error even after removing (with --purge) the php5-mysql package.

Any thoughts? I'm trying to run a web tool that makes heavy use of mysqli_result::fetch_all().

Thanks!

So after removing php5-mysql, I had to forcefully remove php5-mysqlnd, then I had to purge php5-mysql, then I had to purge php5-mysqlnd, then I could install php5-mysqlnd. 

dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq php5-mysqlnd
dpkg --purge php5-mysql 
dpkg --purge php5-mysqlnd

Only once dpkg -l | grep php5-mysql had no output, could I apt-get install php5-mysqlnd and have it work.

  • I was having similar errors, and had to to remove php5-fpm package before running your instructions, must have been some kind of conflict.

  • I was having similar errors after upgrading php on the server: The following packages have unmet dependencies: php5-mysql : Conflicts: php5-mysqlnd but 5.5.24+dfsg-1+deb.sury.org~precise+1 is to be installed php5-mysqlnd : Conflicts: php5-mysql but 5.5.24+dfsg-1+deb.sury.org~precise+1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. So I remove both packages & reinstalled them - that solved it for me.
