16.04 reached end of life in April unless you have Extend Maintenance Security. That may explain why the package is not found.

Hello Frogs,

Thanks for the update. We are using Ubuntu 16.04 in Azure from Canonical publisher which comes with Extended Maintenance Security. Is there anything to be done to get php5.6-fpm to be installed.

I can't tell you tell you what package repositories other than security are available with EMS. The Ubuntu old repositories are available, but mainly for distribution upgrade purposes.

LOL

You need to add this PPA . He does have a note about end-of release Ubuntu, but worth a try. He is the main maintainer for the PHP packages...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5.6-fpm

Enjoy...
