i upgraded ubuntu 14.04 16.04. before doing removed mysql , php mindset of installing new version afterward.

we installed fresh apache , mysql server 0 issue. when comes php keep getting stuck above warning.

the guide followed https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04

how resolve issue , install php?

ok found solution worked me...

cd /var/lib/dpkg/info rm *.postinst apt-get --force-yes install openjdk-7-jre-headless 

i assume openjdk installed kick need not have been openjdk.

i proceded purge apache , php

apt-get purge apache2 apt-get purge php apt-get autoremove apt-get autoclean rm -r /etc/apache2 /etc/php 

i cleanly install apache2 , php once more , happy apt-get install apache2 apt-get install php

what headache. dpkg --configure -a did nothing , kept saying initial dependecy error did every other solution find.
