Hi Sam,
thank you for Information!

We try to perform PHP update but facing now an issue with upgrade to PHP8.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 we have:

“Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package php8.2
E: Couldn’t find any package by glob ‘php8.2’
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘php8.2’”

I can’t find a good solution in internet - only update to Ubuntu 22.04 but it is difficult now.
Do you have any ideas?
br,
Oleg

Couple things (before Sam’s official response).

Ubuntu 18.04 is out of support now and is no longer receiving security updates. You really should upgrade to at least 20.04 (fairly easy without breaking things), but 22.04 would be better. You should be able to do an in-place upgrade using “do-release-upgrade”.

To find the package you’d need to add the right repo for it - I usually have to manually add it to fresh Ubuntu installs. Of course, you’ll have to re-add the repo after the upgrade - I think the right rep is ppa:ondrej/apache2. Of note, I don’t know if that PPA publishes PHP8.2 for Ubuntu 18.04 - if it doesn’t, you’ll either have to build PHP from source yourself or upgrade to a newer Ubuntu version (which you should anyway).
