Почему поднялся phpunit. Невозможно получить ссылку на ошибку $GLOBALS?

Question

Пытаясь запустить phpunit под моим kubuntu 20, я получил ошибку:

      master@master-laptop:/mnt/_work_sdb8/wwwroot/lar/hostels4j$ phpunit   -v
PHP Fatal error:  Cannot acquire reference to $GLOBALS in /usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Util/Configuration.php on line 407

Description: Unit testing suite for PHP
 Unit testing allows you to write small test methods which verify units of
 functionality in your program.  It is a powerful technique for iphpunitmproving the
 quality of your software, preventing regressions, and allowing confident
 refactoring of your code.
 .
 PHPUnit is a unit testing suite for the PHP language, modelled on the xUnit
 testing framework, designed by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma.  If you've used
 JUnit (for Java), PyUnit (for Python), CxxUnit (for C++), or any of the
 other equivalents for other languages, the API for this package should seem
 fairly familiar.  If you've never written unit tests before, the PHPUnit
 API is simple to learn and use.

Description: Standalone GNU Info documentation browser
 The Info file format is an easily-parsable representation for online
 documents. This program allows you to view Info documents, like the
 ones stored in /usr/share/info.
 .
 Much of the software in Debian comes with its online documentation in
 the form of Info files, so it is most likely you will want to install it.

Я помню, что использование $ GLOBALS считалось плохой практикой ... Есть ли способ исправить эту ошибку?

Спасибо!
