docker-compose build fails at apt-get install php5 (and other php5 packages) with the following error:
Package php5 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 'php5' has no installation candidate
This ask ubuntu post has instructions that involve adding a separate PPA (ondrej/php) which, when I tried, had some cert issues.
I was able to resolve the issue simply by changing the Dockerfile to start with FROM ubuntu:trusty. Since Trusty is the latest LTS which supports php5, I thought it would be a good place to go. The other option would be to change all the php dependencies to php 7, which may not be possible for a variety of reasons.
I would be happy to open a PR regarding this, but thought it was minor enough that an issue would be good to start with.
