package php8.1-xdebug 3.1.2+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-4 failed to install/upgrade: installed php8.1-xdebug package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2

xdebug still appears to work, just means everything I tried to install using apt appears to fail. In addition php 8.1 does not appear to have some standard extensions installed. so composer would not work until I added to the php.ini for example extension=pdo and the one for the tokenizer. Both these I have never had to add to the php.ini before.

"/usr/sbin/phpenmod: 31: .: cannot open /usr/lib/php/php-helper: No such file"

Try
sudo apt install --reinstall php-common

Hi,

Thanks

That has  cleared the the issue with x-debug. The php.ini files still
have the modifications in them I made.

Still wondering how this happened after what appeared a clean upgrade?

Regards,

Mark.
