Error: The new file /usr/lib/php/7.0/php.ini-production.cli does not exist!

Question

After updating my system I received this error:

How can i fix this?

Solution 1

This is a known issue with a broken build in the PHP 7.0.5 packages in Ondrej's PPA.

According to his bug report, the new build has just completed.

Try again (you probably have to apt-get update) and it should work.

---

If apt-get update doesn't help, you might also need to manually remove the old package cache manually:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt-get update

Solution 2

after 2 hours of testing, this worked for me:

1. remove (purge) apache and all php packages:

   apt-get purge php*
   apt-get purge apache2
   

2. install these packages:

   apt-get install apache2 php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0

what are you trying to do? Please explain. There seems to be a lot of missing files and configuration error. Please follow the release notes or installation instructions in terms of whatever you are trying to do?
