[php-maint] PHP-curl needed, cannot find correct version

[Per Hall]

Hello,

sorry to take your time, but I seem to be pretty stuck here, despite lots of
searching for an answer.

We have an old Debian install, pre-Etch but upgrade to Etch recently done.

We have php5 ver 5.2.3-1+b1 installed, but lacking php5-curl.
Etch (oldstable) ran 5.2.0+dfsg-8+etch15
Lenny (stable) ran 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny3

I have been trying to locate php5-curl ver 5.2.3-1+b1 but fail
but failed, despite much searching in google, http://packages.debian.org and
other sources.

Question: Do I have to upgrade the whole PHP package by changing
sources.list to Lenny,
or is there an easier way that don't risk breaking so much?

Please advice.

Thanks in advance,

Per
