php-cgi php not same version still works?
Maybe this post should have gone in the Package issues forum, but I thought more people would know about that kind of thing in this forum.
Anyways, I noticed that php-cgi was at version 5.2.1 and php main package is at 5.2.2. If i'm using lighttpd does this combination still work? Or should I flag php-cgi out of date?
I don't have much experience with php and php-cgi itself, I just set up my lighttpd server to support php through fcgi.

Normally php-cgi should be replaed by the new php package; it contains the fcgi binary. Do you still have php-cgi intsalled?

php-cgi is obsolete as far as I know. Use the php package.

thanks.
that should be pointed out in the wiki then - or the php package could print a message after install that it contains the cgi binaries.

You did not get a message that php-cgi will be replaced by php?

Re: php-cgi php not same version still works?
Well after the new php version got updated I tried to upgrade and it said that it conflicts with php-cgi. Obviously I couldn't know at that point that php now includes the php-cgi binary. So I created this post after I decided to cancel the upgrade process because I thought the conflict means that old php-cgi doesn't work with new php package.
Well now I just let it upgrade and it works (it even shows the cgi php.ini advise - but that doesn't completely tell that cgi is included; of course I could have gone for trial and error, but I didn't want to risk that on my server).
Thanks again for sorting this out.
