in our CircleCI build, we have a few months this installation of PHP redis but it stopped to work today. The return message is below.

Please, do you know how to fix it? I am a little confused what to do. Thank you for your help.

Our flow in CircleCi looks like this:

  • sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install php-redis
  • echo 'extension=/usr/lib/php/20131226/redis.so' | sudo tee /opt/circleci/php/$(phpenv global)/etc/conf.d/redis.ini
  • echo 'extension=/usr/lib/php/20131226/igbinary.so' | sudo tee /opt/circleci/php/$(phpenv global)/etc/conf.d/igbinary.ini

SOLVED: use sudo apt-get -f install php-redis

have you tried sudo apt-get upgrade it may fix dependencies or at least suggest you run sudo apt-get -f install – Nigel Ren
it seems that sudo apt-get -f install works! really thank you! – Petr Jirásek
You might want to SSH in and figure out why you have to force it. Other stuff could be changing as a result of that. Newer versions of Ubuntu use php7.0-redis, so you may be force-installing PHP5... – ceejayoz

It sounds as though there are other dependencies which are not installed by the main package. This usually happens to me when I install by dpkg (a downloaded Chrome deb package is the usual one).

When you run 

sudo apt-get upgrade

It will usually tell you there has been some installation failure and suggests that you run 

sudo apt-get -f install

These will usually resolve the dependencies and install any extra packages required.
