    And the recode package in PECL is not really maintained at the moment, so I would recommend
    just dropping it.

    The src gosa has:

    samba/personal/samba/class_sambaMungedDial.inc: if (function_exists("recode")){
    samba/personal/samba/class_sambaMungedDial.inc: $utfName= recode("ISO8859-15..UTF-16",
    $paramName);

    so it’s safe to drop the dependency

    and the same class_sambaMungedDial.inc is in fusiondirectory.

    I would not shed a single tear about this :-)

So looks like we can safely drop.

This bug was fixed in the package fusiondirectory - 1.3-1ubuntu1

---------------
fusiondirectory (1.3-1ubuntu1) focal; urgency=medium

  * d/control: Drop php-recode. (LP: #1866750)
    - recode extension has been unbundled from PHP and is not actively
      maintained. class_sambaMungedDial.inc conditionalizes the inclusion
      properly.
