Unmet dependency? geerlingguy.php vs geerlingguy.php_roles.php

[basictheprogram]

Trying to get this collection working and I'm getting unmet dependencies.

$ ansible-galaxy collection install geerlingguy.php_roles
Process install dependency map
Starting collection install process
Skipping 'geerlingguy.php_roles' as it is already installed

ERROR! the role 'geerlingguy.php' was not found in geerlingguy.php_roles:ansible.legacy:/Users/tanner/projects/py3-ansible/src/playbooks.git/roles/wordpress_server/molecule/default/roles:/Users/tanner/.cache/molecule/wordpress_server/default/roles:/Users/tanner/projects/py3-ansible/src/playbooks.git/roles:/Users/tanner/.ansible/roles:/usr/share/ansible/roles:/etc/ansible/roles:/Users/tanner/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/geerlingguy/php_roles/roles:/Users/tanner/projects/py3-ansible/src/playbooks.git/roles/wordpress_server/molecule/default

The error appears to be in '/Users/tanner/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/geerlingguy/php_roles/roles/php_mysql/meta/main.yml': line 3, column 5, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

dependencies:
  - geerlingguy.php
    ^ here
ERROR:
An error occurred during the test sequence action: 'syntax'. Cleaning up.

Do I need install the geerlingguy.php role and the php_roles collection?

I see the php role in ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/geerlingguy/php_roles/roles?

Changed ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/geerlingguy/php_roles/roles/php_mysql/meta/main.yml to this

---
dependencies:
  - geerlingguy.php_roles.php

Fixes my problem, but documentation states the php_mysql role is a submodule and to do work on the upstream project so I do not know if I changing the upstream role is the proper fix.

I worked around this by adding the the role directly in addition to the collection. Annoying but it works without messing with code.

# this due to a bug in the php collection where it only finds a pecl dependency if installed via a role.
