php7.2 package

Cannot install php7.2-fpm on the latest Ubuntu “18.04.2 LTS (Bionic Beaver)”

Asked by Constantin Bugneac

Hi,

If I understood correctly PHP7.2 is available now on Ubuntu 18.04.
I cannot install neither php7.2-fpm nor php-fpm.

Note: I've run apt update to update the cache before.

# apt install php7.2-fpm

You probably are missing the bionic-security/universe and bionic-updates/universe repositories.

What is the output of the commands

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list

Yes, it is what I assumed.

Edit the archive_ubuntu_com_ubuntu.list configuration file (e.g. with sudo gedit …) and add the lines

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates universe

Then issue the command
sudo apt update
and finally try installing php7.2-fpm

Many Thanks Manfred, it helped!

1. Should I remove something not necessary from my original list of repositories (just to avoid conflicts)?

2. Do you have a link/reference to documentation page describing what repos are available and should be included ?

Regards,
C

There is nothing in your list of repositories what should be deleted. You can leave it as it is.
It is more the other way round, you could consider adding even more entries (namely backports and/or restricted), but that is not a must.
