There is no xcache available for PHP 5.6 in Dotdeb repository. PHP 5.6 comes with opcache builtin, which is an alternative for xcache which performs better and is supported by the PHP team.

ghost commented 8 years ago

although it might be true that opcache should be favored to xcache as opcode cache xcache also provides a variable cache api, on which some projects might rely on. and since opcache is in php since version 5.5 and there are no problems installing xcache next to opcache in php 5.5 from dotdeb repository i do not see the problem doing so in php5.6, or am i wrong?

No, there is no problem, do as you wish. As stated above xcache is not available in Dotdeb for php 5.6 anyway (the error you get is because you are trying to install php5-xcache from wheezy, which is for php 5.4).

rraptorr commented 8 years ago

Also, if you need variable cache you can use apcu, which is available from Dotdeb for php 5.6.

@useltmann : as @rraptorr mentioned kindly, xcache packages are not available starting PHP 5.6, sorry.
