Hi,

Our builds have started failing with an unusual error that I can’t replicate on any other environment.

There’s been no change to the master branch since the last successful build – [https://circleci.com/gh/thom8/beetbox/tree/master](https://circleci.com/gh/thom8/beetbox/tree/master)

`rbenv: version`5.6.17’ is not installed (set by /opt/circleci/.phpenv/version)`

We are using the beta trusty container and installing PHP 5.6.18-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+1.  
This error seems to trigger as soon as a command that requires php is invoked.

Further info –  
It seems the this also only occurs when invoking PHP without sudo, is there any easy way to disable this version check?

Workaround –  
Removing `/opt/circleci/.phpenv` seems to have fixed this issue. Is this ok? or is there an easier solution?

I have had the exactly same problem. I have solved it just like you. removing /opt/circleci/.phpenv
