Upgrading php 5.3 to 5.4 on nginx
I added the following to my /etc/apt/sources
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze-php54 all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze-php54 all
Then I ran:
apt-get update
apt-get install php5
The output is the following :

Need to get 13.9 MB of archives.
After this operation, 14.8 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Couple of things that I am wondering, why is it installing apache related stuff? And why is it removing php-apc. Is it safe to upgrade php5.3 to php5.4 like this?
