Subject: Re: Ubuntu 18.04lts - cannot find bcmath package
That is a problem - PHP 7.0.

I started by installing Ubuntu 18.04lts and then found out that Magento
2 is not compatible with PHP 7.2.

With Magento 2 not being compatible with PHP 7.2... I tried installing
PHP 7.1 on Ubuntu 18.04lts, however there is issues with unmet
dependencies.

I'm a software developer not a system admin. I can do some stuff... I
like to install what comes with the distro. I like Ubuntu... however
this is not as clean as I'd like it to be.

Here is the message I get when trying to install PHP 7.1 on Ubuntu
18.04lts

---

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php7.1-mcrypt : Depends: libmcrypt4 but it is not installable
php7.1-zip : Depends: libzip4 (>= 1.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

---

This is "test" or learning server.... for me exclusively. I'd like to
be able to use it for at least a year before re configuring....

I need to load Magento 2, WordPress, and possible Drupal 8 onto this
server

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Thanks!

Keith
