I don't see anything related to cacti in the bug report. Reassigning to the only package I see.

Hello,
I though I opened a new bug for a different problem rather than overlapping the cacti issue.
I am sorry for the confusion.

Thank you for filing this bug report!

I'm not sure how this came about. I just did a quick apt-file check on the package versions in question (7.0.4-7ubuntu2 and 7.0.4-7ubuntu2.1) and don't see any reason for the security update to think it owns /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini.

Also, I spun up a lxc container of 16.04 and forcibly installed 7.0.4-7ubuntu2. Then I upgraded off security to the latest and had no errors.

Did you happen to change the default configuration in some way?

[gcclinux (ricardo-gcclinux)]

Hi,

That is correct I have updated the /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini with my own required settings, but this should not make any difference as the package should simply ignore this file as it is can can be customized by users.

Many Thanks

[gcclinux (ricardo-gcclinux)]

problem fixed, I removed the symbolic link between two packages and copied the file over

/etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini -> /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
