Additional context

APT list file for arm64:

deb [arch=arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sury-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.sury.org/php/ bookworm main

APT list file for amd64:

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sury-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.sury.org/php/ bookworm main

Using Docker, latest bookworm as a base, with the default debian.sources file renamed to debian.sources.disabled for testing purposes. apt update run between each test.

All recent ARM64 builds are missing.

@rfay I'm seeing php8.3-common at 8.3.13 on Ubuntu 24.04 (noble) arm64, so I don't think that's true. Note that I've only tested Ubuntu 24.04 arm64, Debian bookworm arm64, and Debian amd64. Of those three, only Debian bookworm arm64 was missing 8.3.13.

[rfay]

This issue is about Debian Bookworm

[rfay]

You can see the dates and versions at https://packages.sury.org/php/pool/main/p/php8.3/ and friends.

[Zenexer]

That's only for Debian. This GitHub issue tracker also handles the Ubuntu PPA, which has a different endpoint.

[rfay]

This issue is about PHP 8.3 on Debian. The title of this issue is:

Missing php8.3-common arm64 package for debian bookworm, php 8.3.13

[Zenexer]

Yes, and I want to be clear that it is not all arm64 packages covered by this issue tracker and maintained by Ondrej that are missing--it's just the Debian packages.

[oerdnj]

Well, I understood what @rfay was saying…. You can now stop with the back and forth on the issue.

[oerdnj]

So, the issue is that the arm64 chroots started to segfault qemu-user-static (ldconfig segfaults).

I tried to upgrade the qemu-user-static to a version from bookworm-backports, that didn't help.

So far, looks like deleting and recreating the chroot have had helped - with one problem, but the compiler still segfaults.

Can't wait for the debusine to be finally ready to replace the jenkins-debian-glue and finally have a native builder for arm64.

[rfay]

Thanks so much for working on it. Eagerly awaiting the solution.

[rfay]

@oerdnj we're really hoping to do a DDEV release soon after PHP 8.4.0 comes out in just a few days, but half of the userbase is arm64 (newer macs). Is there anything we can do to help with this, help resolve the segfault or anything? We've also seen crashes in qemu-user-static as well over the years (in docker image builds), but are not having that at this point.

[oerdnj]

@rfay The current status is that Debian bullseye is segfaulting while bookworm looks currently fine to me.

Well fantastic, thanks. I had been checking it almost daily, but didn't check before writing this. Now I see 8.4.0RC4 on Bookworm, thanks!

about the extensions we're hoping for.

[oerdnj]

I've updated the qemu to 9.2.0~rc, we will see if that helps. I have no idea why and when this become broken.

[oerdnj]

So, nope, the new qemu version didn't really help.

[oerdnj]

I think I found the cause: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1087822

[Npi4]

I could just download 8.3.14. Thank you for the work and the laborious troubleshooting. Ik kan gewoon 8.3.14 downloaden. Bedankt voor het werk en het moeizame oplossen van problemen.

[oerdnj]

I think that all PHP Engine packages should be built now for all architectures again, but let me check whether some extensions are missing while the builders were broken, etc… before closing the issues.
