Resolved php-mcrypt instalation plesk-php73-dev problem

[CodingJavi]

Hi, I want to activate the mcrypt extension. I'm following this tutorial to install it: How to install the php-mcrypt module on a Plesk server

Once I try to execute: apt install -y plesk-php73-dev gcc libmcrypt-dev make

I get the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
plesk-php73-dev : Depends: plesk-php73 (= 1:7.3.20-debian.8.200710.1403) but 1:7.3.20-debian.8.200724.1432 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How can I solve this dependency problem?

For resolving dependences the plesk-php73-dev package should be installed manually. At first, detect the currently installed PHP 7.3 version build. For example, on my test system it was 200427.1739:

# dpkg -l | grep plesk-php73
ii  plesk-php73                        1:7.3.17-debian.8.200427.1739

Then go to Index of /pool and find the same version in PHP_7.3* directories. Download the package. On my test system it is:

# wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/pool/PHP_7.3.17_114/dist-deb-Debian-8.0-x86_64/extra/plesk-php73-dev_7.3.17-debian.8.200427.1739_amd64.deb

Install the downloaded package:

# dpkg -i plesk-php73-dev_7.3.17-debian.8.200427.1739_amd64.deb
