If you have the apcu extension installed then cli install of Drupal is impossible in php 5.5
Error: Call to undefined function Drupal\Component\Utility\apc_delete_file() in /Volumes/devdisk/dev/sites/drupal8alt.dev/core/lib/Drupal/Component/Utility/OpCodeCache.php, line 36 [5.42 sec, 21.47 MB]
This is because apcu provides a partial emulation of apc. See output from php -i below.
apc
APC support => Emulated
apcu
APCu Support => disabled

alexpottSimplest fix is just to check if the
apc_delete_file()exists.Comment #2

sunOh wow... What a nice prime example of how a convenience backwards-compatibility layer can backfire!
Btw, given the slightly bogus error message, I wonder whether the function calls shouldn't actually be prefixed with
\?Comment #4
sunQuickly did so.
Comment #6
webchickI hadn't really seen us doing that \ prefixing of procedural functions before. sun said the reason that would be beneficial is you'd avoid it getting confused and thinking the missing function is in Drupal\Component\Utility\ namespace vs. the root. ("Call to undefined function Drupal\Component\Utility\apc_delete_file()"..) However, since the problem is now fixed I don't think we need that anymore.
Committed and pushed #1 to 8.x. Thanks!
