duplicate php packages

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I use this repository for my php installation as its more up to date than Ubuntu's repository, but after I upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 I can no longer install any php packages. for example, I need to install the curl extension but when I try to I get this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 php7.2-curl : Depends: php7.2-common (= 7.2.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.2) but 7.2.9-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

so I uninstall php completely and now when I install php it installs the ubuntu version instead of the one I want.
