Virtual-environments: apt-get update ubuntu:18.04 has broken packages

[diclophis]

Describe the bug

When executing apt-get upgrade --no-install-recommends -y --force-yes in my build, it appears to fail trying to upgrade the php7 packages...

Virtual environments affected

• [ ] macOS 10.14
• [ ] Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
• [x] Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
• [ ] Windows Server 2016 R2
• [ ] Windows Server 2019

Expected behavior

apt-get upgrade --no-install-recommends -y --force-yes should succeed to upgrade existing packages.

Actual behavior

apt-get upgrade ... fails with the follow messages:

Unsafe symlinks encountered in /run/php, refusing.
Job for php7.3-fpm.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status php7.3-fpm.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I have encountered a similar issue when trying to install the php7.3-intl package:

@lordrhodos You can get around this by first uninstalling php7.3-fpm and then installing php7.3-intl for now.

[lordrhodos]

@ADmad I have used the unbuntu-16.04 to bypass this issue for now, but will give your suggestion a try 👍

[ADmad]

Good to know the issue doesn't occur on unbuntu-16.04. Fortunately I figured out quite quickly how to the avoid the problem on unbuntu-18.04 so stuck with that :slightly_smiling_face:.

[lordrhodos]

your proposed solution is working for me as well, and I will stick with it for now, thx @ADmad !

[aFluxx]

Hey @ADmad , would you mind sharing the part of your script where u uninstall fpm and install intl.

Right now I'm running:

 - name: Install ext-intl
      run: |
        sudo apt-get autoremove --purge php-fpm
        sudo apt-get clean
        sudo apt-get autoclean
        sudo apt-get autoremove
        sudo apt-get install php-intl

But this doesn't seem to work:

@pefoo I think yours is a slightly different issue. I believe in your case, the (old) version of that package does not exist anymore for download:

2019-11-19T19:03:49.6901637Z Get:1 http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/universe amd64 cpp-8 amd64 8.3.0-6ubuntu1~18.04.1 [8914 kB]

2019-11-19T19:03:49.8453196Z   404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.83 80]

In this case an sudo apt-get update should suffice.

The other issues reporting focus on PHP-FPM having troubles correctly updating a package, but the download worked.

[pefoo]

@mfn Thank you for clarification. Adding sudo apt-get update solved the problem.

The faulty ppa is actually not even required in the case of Ubuntu 18.04 (but added for some reason in order to install gcc-7).

[github-actions[bot]]

This issue has not had any activity for 45 days and will be closed in 45 days if there continues to be no activity.

[miketimofeev]

@diclophis I can't reproduce it. This works fine for me:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade --no-install-recommends -y --force-yes

Closing the issue, but feel free to reopen if you have any concerns.
Thank you!
