https:\/\/packages.debian.org\/<\/a>“, trixie didn’t trickle down to the website yet, but in SID, it reads “The extension is unbundled from php-src as of PHP 8.4.0.”<\/p>\n\n\n\nI am not yet sure what this means, there is a chance it means we should install it using PECL, I will not do that, I would rather installwith apt, but if i wanted to, i would execute<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt install php-pear php8.4-dev
sudo pecl install imap<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThere is a chance that it will be coming back to debian’s repositories since Sury (The package maintainer) has it, but I have no idea when<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, let us install it (the IMAP extension and nothing else) from the sury repository to make things simpler when debian has it again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us start by adding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt install -y lsb-release apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2
echo \"deb https:\/\/packages.sury.org\/php $(lsb_release -sc) main\" | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/sury-php.list
curl -fsSL https:\/\/packages.sury.org\/php\/apt.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o \/etc\/apt\/trusted.gpg.d\/sury-php.gpg
sudo apt update<\/pre>\n\n\n\nNow we have added Sury’s repository to apt, let us go ahead and pin it so that only php8.4-imap is sourced from that repo !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/preferences.d\/sury-php.pref >\/dev\/null <<'EOF'
Package: *
Pin: release o=deb.sury.org
Pin-Priority: 1
Package: php8.4-imap
Pin: release o=deb.sury.org
Pin-Priority: 990

<\/pre>\n\n\n\nsudo apt update<\/pre>\n\n\n\nNow install<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt install php8.4-imap<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nTo make sure everything is correct<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apt policy php8.4-imap<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nNow in my case, I need to restart PHP (systemctl restart php8.4), in your case, you might need to restart apache or something else, when in doubt, restart the machine \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the package is in debian repositories again, we will simply remove \/etc\/apt\/preferences.d\/sury-php.pref and \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/sury-php.list, then reinstall php8.4-imap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
