Debian 13 is missing php8.4-imap, so the installer quits with an error

Open David-Else opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

I am afraid the installer is broken for Debian 13 due to the missing php8.4-imap dependency. It just quits with an error. https://github.com/nextcloud/ansible-collection-nextcloud-admin/blob/0f9522632576b6a1124264d5301f4d0c794f0692/roles/install_nextcloud/tasks/php_install.yml#L18

I understand the reason is that it was moved in PHP 8.4, so this will be an issue for anyone using PHP 8.4, not just Debian: https://php.watch/versions/8.4/imap-unbundled

It seems like the extension is dead:

Given the problematic nature of the IMAP extension, it is not recommended to use the IMAP extension.
