After a long battle a solution is here!

Many thanks to Alex Sherman @AlxShr  from BelleRon Technologies – www.belleron.com.

Disclaimer: Use at your own risk! Worked on clean 12.04 install.

First of all we used a script taken from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636724&page=2

#!/bin/bash
#modded by japzone

if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then
  echo "Syntax: $0 debfile"
  exit 1
fi

DEBFILE="$1"
TMPDIR=`mktemp -d /tmp/deb.XXXXXXXXXX` || exit 1
OUTPUT=`basename "$DEBFILE" .deb`.modfied.deb

if [[ -e "$OUTPUT" ]]; then
  echo "$OUTPUT exists."
  rm -r "$TMPDIR"
  exit 1
fi

dpkg-deb -x "$DEBFILE" "$TMPDIR"
dpkg-deb --control "$DEBFILE" "$TMPDIR"/DEBIAN

if [[ ! -e "$TMPDIR"/DEBIAN/control ]]; then
  echo DEBIAN/control not found.

  rm -r "$TMPDIR"
  exit 1
fi

CONTROL="$TMPDIR"/DEBIAN/control

MOD=`stat -c "%y" "$CONTROL"`
gedit "$CONTROL"
read -p "Press any key once you've finished editing and saved"

if [[ "$MOD" == `stat -c "%y" "$CONTROL"` ]]; then
  echo Not modfied.
else
  echo Building new deb...
  dpkg -b "$TMPDIR" "$OUTPUT"
fi

rm -r "$TMPDIR"

The script above saved as debedit.sh and given execute permissions by

chmod u+x debedit.sh

Packages downloaded by:

apt-get download libpq4  php-5.3-imap-zend-server

Then edited dependencies by:

./debedit.sh libpq4_8.1.17-0etch1_amd64.deb
./debedit.sh php-5.3-imap-zend-server_5.3.9+b260_amd64.deb

In the “Depends” line of each of them changed libkrb53 to libkrb5-3

After that installed each of the modified packages:

dpkg -i libpq4_8.1.17-0etch1_amd64.modfied.deb
dpkg -i php-5.3-imap-zend-server_5.3.9+b260_amd64.modfied.deb

And then, finally, installed the zend server by:

apt-get install zend-server-ce-php-5.3

WOW! It Works!!!
