Hi there,
What I would usually suggest is installing PHPmyAdmin manually rather than using a package manager like
apt. That way you can get the latest version which contains all of the latest security patches and features. And also you have full control over the installation.You can follow the steps on how to install PHPmyAdmin manually here:
