Dear Maintainer, While it is my understanding that package php5-json will provide the missing json.so shared library extension, this package is not available for architecture sparc:
# apt-get install php5-json Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package php5-json is a virtual package provided by: php5-common 5.4.4-15 [Not candidate version] E: Package 'php5-json' has no installation candidate # dpkg -l|grep php5-common ii php5-common 5.5.0~rc2+dfsg-2 sparc Common files for packages built from the php5 source # php --version PHP 5.5.0RC2 (cli) (built: Jun 3 2013 10:50:14) Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.5.0-dev, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.2-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2013, by Zend Technologies # php -r 'json_decode ("{}");' PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function json_decode() in Command line code on line 1 This is the newly upgraded php5 version without json support, which broke quite a few S/W packages that use php json calls. Will a port for sparc be made available in the repos, or do we need to compile our own packages from source?
