I've never used Opensuse, so I just built a VM to try it out. I got  
Horde/Imp running once I figured out how to use the opensuse installer  
(zypper) and such.

I had to be sure that php would work and that all the required modules  
were installed. Here's some additions I had to make to a plain  
installation of OpenSUSE.

$ zypper install httpd
$ zypper install php8
$ zypper instlal ph8-mysql
$ zypper install php-gettext
$ zypper install php-bcmath
$ a2enmod php8

Also had to add the following to my Directory declaration for the  
horde/web root:

The error you're getting above is because you're trying to ask  
composer to install version 5 of Imp, which is NOT compatible with  
php8.  You need to request the dev versions if you want this to work.

You can do this in a few different ways. You can edit composer.json or  
ask for the dev version on the command line.

I did:

$ git clone https://github.com/maintaina-com/horde-deployment.git horde
$ cd horde
$ composer install
$ composer require horde/imp dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0

I did this on Opensuse 15.4 and php8. Fixed a bug or two in Turba and  
still have a big one in Ingo for rule management that is beyond my  
skills to fix.
