B2 - php - curl not working - libcurl3 library too old

Post by scott-2 »

Hi,

I have a B2. It is still running Etch. I never got around to upgrading it.

I'm trying to get the speedtest.php script to work. It uses curl to gather data on network throughput.

Unfortunately, it looks like my Etch deployment has a version of libcurl3 that is too old.

Code: Select all

bubba:/home/jacob/speedtest# apt-get install libcurl3-openssl-dev
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:
  libcurl3-openssl-dev: Depends: libcurl3 (= 7.15.5-1etch1) but 7.18.2-5 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
Is there some way to override this? I.e., can a newer, compatible version of this library be installed on Etch? Do I need to override the apt-get sources to make this work?

Or is it not possible, and I should upgrade away from Etch?
