New here, be gentle...

I am setting up a server using Ubuntu Server 13.10 64 bit. So far all went well, but now running into a problem during installation of libssh2-php. 

Setting up libssh2-php (0.11.3-0.1build2) ...

Creating config file /etc/php5/conf.d/ssh2.ini with new version
cp: cannot create regular file â/etc/php5/conf.d/ssh2.iniâ: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing libssh2-php (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libssh2-php
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Tried sudo apt-get remove --purge libssh2-php followed by reinstalling, no luck.
When I check /etc/php5/, there is a /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d and a /etc/php5/cli/conf.d directory but no /etc/php5/conf.d directory.

Edit php version 5.5.3

Any suggestions welcome... Thanks!

  • What was the output of sudo apt-get install -f after reinstalling? – Avinash Raj Feb 27 '14 at 19:37
  • I suggest you file a bug report. You can try , as a work around, sudo mkdir -p /etc/php5/conf.d/ && sudo install libssh2-php. If that fails, run sudo touch /etc/php5/conf.d/ssh2.ini && sudo install libssh2-php – Panther Feb 27 '14 at 19:37
  • @AvinashRaj - /etc/php5/conf.d is the config directory for php5 and usually contains things such as php.ini The "â" is a translation problem see stackoverflow.com/questions/1461907/… – Panther Feb 27 '14 at 19:42
  • sudo apt-get install -f results in the same error. – user253031 Feb 27 '14 at 19:52
  • Manually creating /etc/php5/conf.d does solve the issue, no need to touch the ini file first. Thanks for your suggestion! – user253031 Feb 27 '14 at 19:53

This is a bug.

As a workaround:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/php5/conf.d/ 
sudo apt-get install libssh2-php
