Dear Maintainer, Problem: Mediawiki is not installable in testing (via FreedomBox). After running `apt install mediawiki` running `php /usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance/install.php ...` throws the following error: Error: Missing one or more required components of PHP. You are missing a required extension to PHP that MediaWiki needs. Please install: * mbstring <https://secure.php.net/mbstring> * xml <https://secure.php.net/xml> PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'apc.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20190902/apc.so (/usr/lib/php/20190902/apc.so: undefined symbol: zif_apcu_store), /usr/lib/php/20190902/apc.so.so (/usr/lib/php/20190902/apc.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0 Expectation: mediawiki package already has dependency on php-xml and php-mbstring. So, these packages should be found by the command 'php' and installation should proceed without error. Analysis: It turns out that /usr/bin/php is pointing to PHP version 7.4. However, when mediawiki depends on php-xml, php-mbstring etc, it is installing all the libraries for PHP version 7.3, that is, php7.3-xml, php7.3-mbstring. PHP 7.4 would not have been installed on the system normally at all. However, mediawiki depends on php-apcu which seems to bring in PHP 7.4 (don't know how, but removing php7.4-common removes php-apcu). Possible solution: When all the php-* packages point a version of PHP, that is the version that command line PHP in /usr/bin/php (and FPM socket, etc.) should point to. This means that /usr/bin/php should not point to the latest version of PHP but the version that php-defaults depends on. Then installing a PHP app via apt and then using it via command line (or FPM) will work without problems.
