Hello, I am trying to update my php 7.4 to 8.1 for my nextcloud instance using this repository and it keeps failing. I have tried to look through previous issues, using some of the suggested fixes, like adding the LC_ALL UTF-8 infront of the add-apt.. Still can't seem to get around this problem and also adding the locals.

This is on Debian 11

Here is the error.

Tip: Debian is not Ubuntu

Ive been following some debian guides for updating 7.4 to 8.1 for Nextcloud and they all are showing this repository, apparently not the debian one, not sure why.. That would explain the issue..
