Recently i Upgraded my ubuntu 21.04 to 21.10. when update get finished i got an notification like you have held broken package to resolve please use partial update. I updated again i got an error or new update like arround 12 mb update. I started upgrading i got this
Package dependencies cannot be resolved
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
Transaction failed: Package dependencies cannot be resolved
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php7.2-cli: Depends: libpcre3 (>= 2:8.41) but 2:8.44-2+ubuntu20.10.1+deb.sury.org+1 is to be installed
Depends: php7.2-common (= 7.2.34-25+0~20210923.65+debian9~1.gbpa3cd00) but 7.2.34-25+0~20210923.65+debian9~1.gbpa3cd00 is to be installed
Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) but 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2ubuntu7 is to be installed
I Don't understand why every time we got stucked with php only. I am a web developer Working for a startup they have so many projects on php7.2. Now i am stucked everytime with every update like problem with composer package, php versions issues and lastly for apache2.
I want to ask you why ubuntu are not supporting php versions.
By the way here is my problem.
Apache2 cann't starts
Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xeu apache2.service" for details.
apache-htcacheclean.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it.
