[php-maint] Bug#743865: php5: Updating php5 5.5.10+dfsg-1 to 5.5.11+dfsg-1 fails

[Sebastian Mares]

Package: php5
Version: 5.5.11+dfsg-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried updating my installation of php5 5.5.10+dfsg-1 to 5.5.11+dfsg-1 via
apt-get dist-upgrade and the installation would break my configurationdue to
unmet dependencies.
PHP was installed automatically by cacti along with php5-cgi and lighttpd.

dpkg -l|grep php5 gives
