I just recently upgraded from Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) to Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine). My phpMyAdmin was removed while upgrading. Now I can't install it again.

I tried using:

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin php-gettext

but it shows something like this:

Package phpmyadmin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'phpmyadmin' has no installation candidate

So I searched from phpMyAdmin, apt search phpmyadmin, but I didn't find any.

How can I install phpMyAdmin on this version?

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.

Ubuntu "focal" 20.04 has now phpMyAdmin 4.9.2

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+package/phpmyadmin

Track progress for 19.10 (if some can be done) in https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/15515

You can just use heidiSQL instead of phpmyadmin.
