Bug#1004350: php-common: Conflict with php7.4
Hi Ondřej, First of all, thanks for maintaining the PHP packages. Much appreciated. I understand from this thread, as well as bug #1004350) that it's intentional that only one version of PHP can be installed on Debian. Nonetheless, I had to find a way to run PHP 7.4 next to PHP 8.1, as two web applications I frequently use (Horde and phpLDAPadmin) are not yet compatible with PHP 8.x. Below a summary of what I did, as this may be useful for others having similar issues as well: 1. manually modify the dependencies of php-common to allow PHP 7.4 to be installed 2. install PHP 7.4 and configure Apache to use PHP 7.4 for these two web applications (only) These steps in detail: 1. Modify dependencies of php-common # download the package (php-common_2%3a92_all.deb) cd /tmp apt download php-common # Unpack the package (this will create three files: debian-binary control.tar.xz data.tar.xz) mkdir deb && cd deb/ ar x ../php-common_2%3a92_all.deb # Unpack control archive mkdir control && cd control/ tar xf ../control.tar.xz # Fix dependencies in control using a text editor (I used vim): # - remove "php7.4-common" from the "Break: " statement # - also append "-compat" after the version to prevent this package from being overwritten with the original one vim control # Repack control.tar.gz tar c * | xz -c > ../control.tar.xz cd .. rm -rf -- control/ # Repack deb (order important!) ar rcs ../php-common_2%3a92_all-compat.deb debian-binary control.tar.xz data.tar.xz cd .. # clean up rm -rf -- deb/ # install package dpkg -i php-common_2%3a92_all-compat.deb 2. Install PHP 7.4 # install PHP 7.4 packages as well as mod_fcgi (FastCGI) for Apache apt-get install libapache2-mod-fcgid php7.4 php7.4-fpm php7.4-* packages required by your web applications> # enable Apache2 modules a2enmod actions fcgid alias proxy_fcgi # note: I was already using mpm_event; but if you are using the mod_php (prefork MPM) module with Apache, then you also need to do the following: a2dismod php8.1 mpm_prefork a2enmod mpm_event proxy_fcgi setenvif a2enconf php8.1-fpm systemctl restart apache2 3. Configure Apache to use PHP 7.4 for specific web applications (In my case: horde and phpLDAPadmin): I edited my site configuration (file under /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/) and added: SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost" Cheers, Timo

Control: close -1 No, php7.4 will be removed from unstable in couple of days. You should not be using unstable or testing and expect that thing will never change. -- Ondřej Surý (He/Him) > On 25. 1. 2022, at 16:51, Stefano Callegari wrote: > > Package: php-common > Version: 2:92 > Severity: normal > > Dear Maintainer, > > while in Sid php7.4 is still maintained > > ~ $ apt search php7.4-fpm > Ordinamento...

Package: php-common Version: 2:92 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, while in Sid php7.4 is still maintained ~ $ apt search php7.4-fpm Ordinamento... Fatto Ricerca sul testo... Fatto php7.4-cgi/unstable,now 7.4.26-1 amd64 [installato] linguaggio di scripting incorporato nell'HTML, lato server (binario CGI) php7.4-fpm/unstable,now 7.4.26-1 amd64 [installato] linguaggio di scripting incorporato nell'HTML, lato server (binario FPM-CGI) it's impossible to install because php-common 2:92 requires only php8.1 and conflicts with php7.4 The only way (suggested by aptitude) to have both php 8.1 and 7.4 is downgrade it to 2:76 from Stable. Why php7.4? Simply, some web applications like Wordpress aren't ready for php8.1. Please, is it possible to unlock php7.4 in php-common from Sid?
