[Solved] Cannot install php7.4 on debian 11.11

[thef75]

Hello,

I set up a raspberry 4i with Debian 11 to run jeedom software (domotic service), the Debian 12 has not yet supported.
PHP7.4 is required but I've a exception when I try to install it. When I execute

Code: Select all

sudo apt install php7.4

, several error messages are returned - see belows. Archives are not found on mirror (7.4.33-1+deb11u6). As they contain security CVE, perhaps there have been removed.

s I'm not an expert and I didn't know the other dependencies, I prefer to install it in using standard process rather than "tar.gz installation".
How can I do to fix it?

Debian 12 has php8.2. I have sometimes encountered similar situtiation, in those cases I have done softlink, say in this case php7.4 which would link to php8.2. That has in most cases worked.

[thef75]

I didn't understand why the php7.4 installation command downloads 7.4.33-1+deb11u6 and not 7.4.33-1+deb11u7!

[sunrat]

If you look on the server listing - http://security.debian.org/debian-secur ... /p/php7.4/ - you see 7.4.33-1+deb11u6 is not available, only 7.4.33-1+deb11u7. Did you remember to apt update before attempting install?

Hello,

I'm glad you sorted it out.

Please, mark the discussion as "solved" manually adding the text tag "[Solved]" at the beginning of the subject of the first message (after other tags, if any).

Thanks.

Happy Debian !
