Re: Why was this package removed but apt?

[Jonathan Sélea <jonathan@selea.se>]

Hi

I am running Debian Stretch but with sury.org repository. :)

Jonathan Download suggested that I checked what package is depending php7.1-mbstring  on with:

apt rdepends php7.1-mbstring

php7.1-mbstring

Reverse Depends:
  Depends:

php7.1-mbstring-dbgsym (= 7.1.13-1+0~20180105151623.14+stretch~1.gbp1086fa)

That particular package was not installed thou.

/ Jonathan
