Many thanks for your report.

Hmm, obviously Debian removed the alias/meta package from the repo. Only php7.0-opcache can be found. Might be also the case for other PHP packages. I think on Stretch we should switch to php7.0-* package naming, besides APCu, Redis and some where those do not exist.

We have to check which packages are affected by this change to provide a reliable solution. I can do that in 6 hours after work.

Okay quite easy to fix:
sed -i "s/^[[:blank:]]*PHP_APT_PACKAGE_NAME='php'/ PHP_APT_PACKAGE_NAME='php7.0'/" /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-software

Then retry Pi-hole install.

Dev todo

🈯️ Test succeed on VM

• [x] At best test on RPi Stretch, just in case the Raspbian repo has differences.

Applied the sed fix and Pihole installed successfully 👍

Great, thanks for reply. I will leave the issue opened, just in case we've overseen something in relation with any other PHP dependant software. Want to go through them once carefully tomorrow moring, before v6.20 release.
