Thanks for the suggestions.
installilng php5 and php5-extensions and phpmyadmin installed without
problem once apache was successfully installed.
Stsrange that the identical configuration worked on my first upgrade to
8.0 (although, not without different problems). There is some stumbling
in the installation procedures regarding apr and they are not very clear.
I now have it sorted out.
Thanks, again.
