Question
Why can't I upgrade to PHP 7.3?
apt-get
fails to install the php7.3 package:
# apt-get install php7.3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package php7.3
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.3'
I have followed these instructions including overriding locale settings during add-apt-repository
and apt-get update
:
“`# LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
