Describe the bug Using Ubuntu 20.04 I am trying to install opentelemetry in an existing project, but it is having information that it conflicts with apcu. I could not find any information on the internet, why is that. I looked at:

1. source code of the opentelemetry
2. opentelemetry docs
3. opentelemetry repo - they actually mention APCU for usage for sharing some telemetry between processes
4. google/duckduckgo and bing chat

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Existing project in docker
2. apt-get install php8.2-apcu works fine
3. apt-get install php8.2-opentelemetry returns error below

apt-get install php8.2-opentelemetry

Your understanding of what is happening As far as I understand, this is invalid. I used PECL and installed opentelemetry and everything works fine.

What steps did you take to resolve issue yourself before reporting it here Using pecl works.

Expected behavior I am able to install opentelemetry using apt without issues.

Right, that was dumb copy&paste error.

[hostaway-greg]

@oerdnj Are you able to fix this?

[oerdnj]

I thought I already did, but I've been traveling a lot lately. I'll recheck this again.

[oerdnj]

I think all should be peachy now. Could you recheck whether the issue is fixed for you now?

@oerdnj Looks good :) Thank you very much! :)
