Unable to install php7.1-bcmath on ubuntu 17.10

Question

I'm trying to install a Laravel package name bitwasp but this package depends on bcmath. Whenever I tried to install it gave me an error. Also I tried to install it using this command:

sudo apt-get install php7.1-bcmath

But whenever I do this, I got the following error also my Ubuntu is 17.10:

After this operation, 128 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Already run update and fix-missing and nothing happens, every time I got the same error.

Your package manager seems to think these packages are in the ppa you seem to use, but they are not.

See the list of artful packages here

It seems your apt-getpackage management wants to install everything from this ppa.

The first thing to do is remove it*:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ondrej/php

and/or

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ondrej/php

then update the repos

sudo apt-get update

and this would be a good spot to clean up apt with

sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove

then install your packages with

sudo apt-get install php7.1-bcmath

This should work - if not, you have other issues with your sources.list.

If you look into your sources list with your favorite editor

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

You should see something similar to this.

deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful main restricted universe multiverse
#deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-updates main restricted universe multiverse
#deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-updates main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-security main restricted universe multiverse
#deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-security main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-backports main restricted universe multiverse
#deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-backports main restricted universe multiverse

# deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu artful partner
# deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu artful partner

If not, copy/replace this sources list and replace the de with your country code. There is also a pretty good Ubuntu wiki entry on handling repository sources.

(*)You can re-enable it at anytime with add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php && sudo apt-get update
