Docker PHP 7.3 packages has unmet dependencies

I haven’t been run any update for few months and now my Dockerfile has become broken for some reason.

    FROM digitonic1/php7.3-nginx:stable

    RUN echo "deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list

    COPY ./tools/docker/usr/ /usr/
    
    COPY . /app
    WORKDIR /app
    
    RUN container build

First I was getting php7.3-dev not found, then I added this line to get it back

RUN echo "deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list

But now I can’t get it to install, errors I’m getting:

Help appreciated!

Good evening,
not a solution but maybe a reason for your issue:
You are trying to use the Debian-Buster (=Debian 10) repository for a Ubuntu-Xenial-based (=Ubuntu 16.04) image which might cause some problems…

Why are you using this base-image digitonic1/php7.3-nginx:stable (which received its last update 10 months ago - in addition PHP 7.3 is only supported until 6th of December 2021) and pack all other things into it?
Why not multiple images/containers - each with a specific use? One for the data, one for nginx, one for php and one for node.

I got the original dockerfile from github project for laravel framework in kubernetes and it uses this same image. I could update to other more recent 7.3 image until I upgrade whole PHP version. But currently I’m stuck with this one.

Unfortunately there is no xenial repo that contains php7.3-dev, at least I haven’t found one yet.
