For some need I have to install php5.3 on my Ubuntu 16.04 system. I have installed PHP 5.3 from ppp:ondraj/php5. I have installed Apache 2.2. But while running apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 it is showing:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
I tried ppa-purge ppa:ondraj/php5 but the problem is same.
I tried to install from .deb source. Here is the output:

dpkg: error processing package libapache2-mod-php5 (--install):

Is there any way I can solve the problem? I really need to use PHP 5.3.
