OK i think got it , something is wrong in the way update-manager manages dependencies:

On my server php5 is installed and need to be upgraded

<pre>
 # LANG=en aptitude show php5
 Package: php5
 New: yes <------- why new ? Is it the cause of the trouble ?
 State: installed
 Automatically installed: no
 Version: 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.1
 Priority: optional
 Section: web
 Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <email address hidden>
 Uncompressed Size: 20.5k
 Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.1) | libapache2-mod-php5filter (>= 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.1) | php5-cgi (>= 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.1), php5-common (>=
         5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.1)
</pre>

it considers that libapache2-mod-php5 must be installed, but the dependency says
 libapache2-mod-php5 | libapache2-mod-php5filter | php5-cgi

the last choice php5-cgi is installed in my machine so the apache stuff is not needed.
