New issue "Depends: libgd3 (>= 2.1.1)"

PHP5.6 was working last night, this morning it is falling.

Trying to install manually it seems something else was not updated.

PS this is on Ubuntu 14.04

I just noticed this role doesn't have daily or weekly cron CI tests enabled, so I just enabled that to see what Travis CI says: https://travis-ci.org/geerlingguy/ansible-role-php-versions/builds/361367737

Note that Ubuntu 14.04 is used widely in Drupal VM, and often with PHP 5.6, and I haven't noticed anyone else reporting this issue. If this is on a VM or something, can you wipe it and start from scratch on a fresh build?

[geerlingguy]

Seems like it worked on https://travis-ci.org/geerlingguy/ansible-role-php-versions/jobs/361367748 :/

Maybe it was an error with one version of 14.04's PHP GD package and it's working now?

See:

I'm going to close this as I can't reproduce it, but please let me know if you can find a way to reproduce this on a fresh build.
