and thanks to others for posting suggestions, i was really stuck and didnt
want to update the whole distro in fear of a heavier workload.

Maybe you have 'stable' in your sources file.
Debian has just released version 3.0 as stable, so it probably wants to
upgrade lots of things.
You could change the 'stable' to 'potato' in your sources.list and then do a
'apt-get update' again, this will give you access to the 2.2 packages.

Tim

Pretty strange, having to remove gnome in order to install php4, whats
the contents of your /etc/apt/sources file?
Also, have you recently changed anything in the sources file?
