phpmyadmin (4:5.2.1+dfsg-3) unstable; urgency=medium The phpMyAdmin package now requires PHP 8.2 to run, this is the reflection of packaging complexities. This will affect Debian packages and Ubuntu packages. In 05/2023 the requirement for PHP 8.0+ was added to Ubuntu Jammy. As of 04/2024, PHP 8.2 is now required. Let me explain this to you: Packages out of the scope of phpMyAdmin ship versions only compatible with newer PHP versions and drop polyfills for older ones. In a Debian version, the code of vendors is split into sub-packages that each packaging team manages. As a mater of fact security fixing is easier and you receive updates from Debian security. Rather than waiting for phpMyAdmin to make a new version that would include the vendor security fixed code. Because of this packaging method the reality is split. There is a Debian/Ubuntu reality with patches for Debian/Ubuntu and the one from pure composer source code without any patch that phpMyAdmin provides on it's website. If you download the phpMyAdmin version from the website the PHP version requirement will be different (the vendors are in the ZIP). I hope you better understand why PHP 8.2 is required, to match the version shipped by Debian. The officially required PHP version for all packages in Debian. If you have to maintain a legacy PHP version that is different from the version shipped with Debian, the solutions are the following: - Install multiple PHP-FPM versions - Upgrade your existing code to a newer PHP version - apt-get remove this package and install from the phpMyAdmin website References: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2016016 - https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/17503 - https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/19092 -- William Desportes Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:41:31 +0200 phpmyadmin (4:4.9.1+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=low phpMyAdmin webbased setup is not included anymore. -- Matthias Blümel Tue, 22 Oct 2019 20:37:37 +0200 phpmyadmin (4:3.2.2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low phpMyAdmin setup script now does not allow one to write configuration by default. See README.Debian for information how to enable writing configuration. -- Michal Čihař Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:32:31 +0200 phpmyadmin (4:3.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low phpMyAdmin now uses dbconfig-common for configuring control user and phpmyadmin auxiliary databases. If you have used custom configuration, you might need to merge it with the one shipped in package or at least use generated password from /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php. -- Michal Čihař Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:33:13 +0200
