Problem:UCS 5.2 - all php packages are removed since the upgrade

Problem

Since the upgrade to UCS 5.2 all php packages have been removed. In UCS 5.2 Keyloak is used for SSO and therefore simpleSAMLphp is no longer supported and all packages are removed during the upgrade.

Solution

If you still need PHP you can simply install them as follows, but please note that they are completely not supported.

apt install php8.2

dpkg -l | grep php
