Swiftmailer cannot work after upgrade php to 5.5

down vote

I'm using SwiftMailer to send email by SMTP. The library is working fine when running in the server with PHP version 5.4. However, after upgrading the server to PHP version 5.5, email was not sent and the server threw the following error: Undefined property: Swift_Transport_StreamBuffer::$_sequence How can I resolve this issue? Thanks. Simple solution: In swift-mailer/classes/Swift/ByteStream/AbstractFilterableInputStream.php change private $_sequence = 0; to protected $_sequence = 0; Then the message goes away. I must use a different version of Swiftmailer than you in the legacy project I got the exact same error notice. My Swift::VERSION is 4.1.1.

dpkg cannot find ldconfig/start-stop-daemon in the PATH variable

I have this problem in my ubuntu server 11.04,

Preconfiguring packages ...
dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable.
dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable.
dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable.
Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

And I found the solution from  https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1266104, I adjust it to my ubuntu version.

1. sudo apt-get download libc-bin    // download the library
2. sudo dpkg-deb -x libc-bin*.deb libc-bin-unpacked/              // unpack it
3. sudo cp libc-bin-unpacked/sbin/ldconfig* /sbin/    // copy to sbin folder
--- sometimes, you need to remove old one, I did it using sudo rm -rf /sbin/ldconfig*

4. sudo apt-get -f install
5. sudo dpkg-reconfigure libc-bin
6. sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc-bin

One error now is gone. Another one is solved using guide from https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1919127, Below is the guide:

1. Download the dpkg package from http://launchpadlibrarian.net/63806751/dpkg_1.15.8.10ubuntu1_amd64.deb


2. Copy the file into a temporary location:
mkdir ~/dpgk_temp
cp ~/Downloads/dpgk*.deb ~/dpkg_temp
cd ~/dpgk_temp


3. Extract the files from the archive:
ar x dpkg*.deb
tar xfvz data.tar.gz


4. Copy the file to /sbin:
sudo cp ./sbin/start-stop-daemon /sbin


5. Try update the apt information:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade



Thank you to those who gives us solution, I just put this in here as my reference.

Not testing yet, but should be working since one of it is directly from Apple.
