Failed to install php7.0-soap on ubuntu

Question

when I

sudo  apt-get install php7.0-soap

I get the following errors:

Err http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu/ wily/main php7.0-soap amd64 7.0.7-2+donate.sury.org~wily+1
  404  Not Found
E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu/pool/main/p/php7.0/php7.0-soap_7.0.7-2+donate.sury.org~wily+1_amd64.deb  404  Not Found

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Any suggestion to fix this?

Solution 1

You are getting a 404 Not Found error message because there isn't a package named php7.0-soap in the ppa:ondrej/php PPA. php7.0-soap is provided by the php7.0 package from ppa:ondrej/php.

Installation in Ubuntu 12.04/14.04/15.10

Open the terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.0

Installation in Ubuntu 16.04→17.04

SOAP module for PHP (php7.0-soap) is a separate package in the default repositories for Ubuntu 16.04 and later. Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install php7.0-soap

Installation in Ubuntu 17.10→18.04

Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install php7.1-soap

Solution 2

You're either not running 14.04 or you have the wrong repo added because in your error it says it's looking for 7.0.7-2+donate.sury.org~wily+1 which is for Ubuntu 15.10

The current version of the package for 14.04 is 7.0.9-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+1

If you're running 15.10 all you have to do is update apt's package list with sudo apt-get update before installing the package.

And if you're running 14.04 you have to edit the repo file located in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ starting with onrej (probably named ondrej-php-willy.list) and replace willy with trusty and then run sudo apt-get update before installing the package.

I'm also running Ubuntu server 14.04 using the same repo ( ppa:ondrej/php ) and there is a package called php7.0-soap. There's even php7.1-soap

I'm not the one getting the error - it's Whaaaaat. Also I just installed the package from this repo (which is the only non-default one on this machine) without a problem.
