Just as a bit of debugging, if I force it to install with --ignore-depends PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'mbstring.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20190902/mbstring.so (libonig.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) and then ln -s libonig.so.5 libonig.so.4 then it seems to function OK these are the affected packages (which are current as of 13 Feb 2020) php7.4-mbstring_7.4.2-6+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1_amd64.deb" "php-mbstring_2%3a7.4+72+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1_all.deb" ** Affects: phing (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: dependencies focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863128 Title: focal: php-mbstring has broken dependency on libonig4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/phing/+bug/1863128/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
