Alpine 3.13 fails to install ttf-ubuntu-font-family

[mrmkrs]

On alpine 3.12 everything worked fine, but 3.13 breaks the install. What can I do to fix it?

FROM php:7.3-fpm-alpine AS ci
RUN apk update && apk --no-cache add ttf-ubuntu-font-family

Output:

The error message says "no such package", it seems the package was removed in 3.13

It was moved to unmaintained on the 2021-04-27 - https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/log/main/ttf-ubuntu-font-family

If you want it reintroduced then conciser becoming the maintainer for the package. The process is quite simple make a MR (merge request) against https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/ moving the package to testing/community following the commit style guide https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/COMMITSTYLE.md#move

Hi thank you for taking time to answer. I'm going to look for an alternative solution because this domain is definitly not my area of expertise :)

If you find an alternative solution, I will appreciate to hear it!
