When I try to install phpize for my Pop OS VM I get this error. I have done an sudo apt-get update as well but am still unable to do it.

I was following the steps that was in this recommendation for Xdebug:

but ...

cs@pop-os:~/Downloads$ sudo apt install php-dev.openSUSE

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package php-dev.openSUSE

E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php-dev.openSUSE'

My Answer:
It seems like you are trying to install the php-dev package for openSUSE, but you are using Pop OS which is based on Ubuntu. The correct package name for Ubuntu is php-dev.

You can try installing php-dev using the following command:


sudo apt install php-dev


Once you have installed php-dev, you should be able to use phpize to install Xdebug.
