apt: Install all php packages whatsoever I'm quite fed up with tracking packages of PHP extensions that are needed for some GUIs like PHPMyAdmin or some CMSs like Drupal. For example, I once did: apt upgrade php-{cli,curl,mbstring,mcrypt,gd} but now `mcrypt` is deprecated. Also, in Arch Linux, some php-extension packages are included OOB in the `php` package. Is there an `apt` command to install all PHP packages whatsoever that I could run after `apt install lamp-server^` to save all this tracking? Maybe `apt install php` is exactly what I need? Pilot6 thank you !

`apt install` will match substring regexes if the package name is given with `.`, `?` or `*`, so


sudo apt install php.*


will install all packages with names containing `php`.

(This isn’t a good idea.)
