New install Raspberry Pi 4 8GB -- 'php-ioncube-loader'

Reporting an Issue
1

I have a new Raspberry pi 4 w/ 8gb, and I reformatted and re-imaged, then I tried another sd card. And I still get this same error on ioncube.

2

Package php-ioncube-loader is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package ‘php-ioncube-loader’ has no installation candidate
root@PBX:~#

Here is the error on the last attempt to install.

I have wiped the sd card, even tried a new card. I get the same results. I even tried installing ioncube-loader.

Here’s where the installation hangs up:

Installing dependencies…
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done

Well, isn’t that nice…to buy more stuff and invest time in something else that doesn’t work. To find this out now, could have been forewarned, by taking the website pages down so as people do not go down the Bunny Hole.

I would have used the money ‘now wasted’, instead to buy a VitalPBX license. Having worked in software sales…I should have know better. Tech people are in their own world. I’m not saying this as an insult. I would hope you start thinking about unintended consequences of NOT updating information. If I wanted to live in the crazy world of open software, I could just stay with Free-Papa-Bravo, X-Ray Circus. Obviously, I DON’T WANT THAT!

Disregard. Posted in error.

Idea: get a (used) X86 thin client and install Proxmox.
