Yep but the sarge to etch upgrade I decided to upgrade from php4 to 
php5. Despite the php-pear replaces "php4-pear (<< 4:4.4.0-0)", it 
only depends of  "php5-cli | php4-cli, php5-common", not php-db, 
php-log etc. These packages should at least belong to the package 
recommendx.

> did you remove the php4-pear package before upgrading?

Yes : as I said I decided to switch to php5, so for me it's mean purge 
all php4 package since I will not use them anymore. Also, when I do 
dist-upgrade and that I see a package or many which will be removed, 
I stop and purge it.
