php5-gd ya está en su versión más reciente.
0 actualizados, 0 nuevos se instalarán, 0 para eliminar y 7 no actualizados.

This means "PHP5-GD is installed in its latest version"

  • A phpinfo() file doesn't show a GD section
  • php -m | grep gd shows me nothing at all.

This is confusing for me, by a side it says I have the latest GD library version and the other side show me nothing at all about its presence.

If you are using Apache then you may need to enable the extension with something similar to:

a2enmod php5.6-gd

I hope it helps. If that doesn't work, have a look at your php.ini (you can find the right location with phpinfo()) and search for GD there, there is a chance you have to manually enable it for Apache in the correct INI file (not the CLI one).

  • When asking why not PHP 7, you may want to consider the timeline of this question -- the discussion had happened 3-4 years before PHP 7 was released. – Vytas Oct 25 '21 at 16:53

    Yes, I didn't see the date and was looking for unanswered questions. I will edit my answer which is still valid – Erika Heidi Nov 08 '21 at 13:18
