I'm pretty sure that there are issues with the ext/imap configuration. However, it seems to me that the “manual” configuration which is still done for many extensions can't really be solved generally, and instead relying on pkg-config appears to be the way forward. This is unlikely to happen for PHP 7.3, though. [1] <https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2018/12/10/Install-PHP-7.3-on-CentOS-RHEL-or-Fedora> -- Christoph M. Becker
