Problem installing phpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine)

I am a member of the packaging team and we are doing our best to get back phpMyAdmin in the Debian buster repository ASAP (buster-backports), this will update Ubuntu afterwards.

You can use our PPA: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/phpmyadmin/+bug/1837775/comments/7

There is an open issue on our tracker for Ubuntu: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/15515

And for Debian: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/15236

Hope the PPA or installing manually using our website will help someone


To add the ppa mentioned by William Desportes and install phpmyadmin do the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phpmyadmin/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

Obviously it has been removed for security reasons.

It popped up first in Debian Community: #916310 - 4.6 should not be shipped in a stable release - Debian Bug report logs

Then in Launchpad

Ubuntu Forums thread here: phpmyadmin missing from repository

It seems like some Debians joined the phpMyAdmin project to fix the problem in future releases.
