@Deimos Which version of FOG did you try to install?
Why would you used Ubuntu 16.04???

Some time ago I set up an Ubuntu 20.04 and wanted to run FOG 1.5.5 with it, which failed miserably due to various error messages, maybe caused due to my awful linux knowledge. Of course I am now a little more technically experienced, but the functioning system Ubuntu 16.04 and FOG 1.5.5 prevented me to make changes. Now we have an outdated kernel so I had to update that. The update to 1.5.9 with Ubuntu 16.04 encounters the error described and a newly installed Ubuntu 16.04 also encounters the same error. I can’t even install a php7.1 because the package can’t be found. So I think it´s really outdated OS or kind of that.
So I feel compelled to install an Ubuntu 20.04 (installation is in progress) and then try again. But maybe there would be a chance to avoid this PHP error message in some other way.
FOG: 1.5.9

@Deimos Ubuntu 16.04 is end of life and we don’t care to make FOG work with it anymore. The other way round, FOG 1.5.5 is years old as well and we can’t support such an older version to be installed.
Just go with Ubuntu 20.04 and FOG 1.5.9 and you should be fine.

true story.
Ubuntu 20.04 and FOG 1.5.9 get along quite well.
