I would like to update my php 5 in my server. At this moment, I use php 5.2.0 so I want to update it to php 5.2.4 (not php 5.3). I tried to do this:

aptitude update
aptitude upgrade

63 packets were updated but not php which is always in 5.0

How can I update my php please ?

Which distro/version are you using? (the output of cat /etc/debian_version will help if you don't know). Also, how did you install PHP5 in the first place? If you installed it from source rather than from apt-get/aptitude than you can not upgrade it via apt. aptitude search php5 should tell you if it was installed via apt: the left hand character in the output will be "i" instead of "p" if the package was installed via apt. – David Spillett Mar 8 '10 at 11:44
@David, this is a great comment. I think you should move it to an answer and pick up some votes. – Randolph West Mar 8 '10 at 12:54
@Randolph - I nearly put it in as an answer, but erred on the side of a comment as I figured I was suggesting more info be checked/supplied rather than providing a direct answer. – David Spillett Mar 8 '10 at 15:07
@David, my distro is a debian etch. I install php5 with aptitude one year ago. – Kiva Mar 9 '10 at 8:36
Could you edit your question to add the output of aptitude search php5?. Also the output of aptitude show php5 | grep Version, aptitude show php5-cgi | grep Version, php5 --version and php-cgi --version (one of those last two may give an error depending whether you are usnig PHP via mod_php or the cgi method). – David Spillett Mar 9 '10 at 12:21
