What is wrong with 5.4?

Thanks! Very useful! But if I want to reinstall the last version? Can I remove all the files in /etc/apt/preferences.d/php5_3, remove the sourcelist entry and then update?


is it enough?

Thank you for this script! It saved me a ton of time.

After the script finished, apache2 failed to restart, showing me "apache2ctl: command not found." I was able to resolve this by reinstalling apache2:

$ sudo apt-get install apache2
