Subject: Re: Ubuntu 18.04lts - cannot find bcmath package
I got to thinking... why would Ubuntu 16.04lts be supported into 2021
and have PHP 7.0 a part of the mix? There is no option to update to PHP
7.1.x.

Then I stated to think maybe they backport. Sure enough they do :
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports

Problem solved

Thanks!!
