I am trying to install php curl like so:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5-curl

But I keep getting an error.

I forcibly remove runit like so:

sudo dpkg -r --force-all runit

then

sudo apt-get -f install runit

then installed php-curl:

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

And it was fixed.

  • This didn't work for me. I still get the exact same error on running the runit install command! – joker Jun 26 '16 at 08:42

Install git-daemon-sysvinit first.

sudo apt-get install git-daemon-sysvinit

Then install php5-curl.

git-daemon-sysvinit replaces git-daemon-run. (They are alternatives for each other.) git-daemon-run doesn't actually work anymore on Ubuntu 15.04 and up, from my experience, and from what I have read. At least, not without special handling.
