No Data on Dashboard & "Unable to locate package php5-xml"

I've searched and found similar issues, tried their solutions but even after an upgrade to

Pi-hole v5.1.2
Web Interface v5.1.1
FTL v5.2

Which initially failed due to OS recognition failure (Linux raspberrypi 4.1.18-v7+ #846 SMP Thu Feb 25 14:22:53 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux), so took the advised solution: PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true sudo -E pihole -r and reconfigured.

This process has failed with:

  [i] Processing apt-get install(s) for: lighttpd php5-cgi php5-sqlite php5-xml php5-intl, please wait...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E: Unable to locate package php5-xml

The system continues to resolve, but the dashboard appears thus:

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Are you still on the very very old and unsupported Jessie?

That's what it said... So I need a distribution upgrade?

Yes you do.

Time to move off Noob. Done (Linux raspberrypi 5.4.51-v7+ #1333 SMP Mon Aug 10 16:45:19 BST 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux), reinstalled pi-hole and it's working. Thank you.
