Unable to successfully install PHP 7.4 Zip extension on Ubuntu 20.04

<p>While running <code>sudo apt-get install php7.4-zip</code>, I encountered the following error: </p> <blockquote> <p>The following packages have unmet dependencies: php7.4-zip: Depends on php7.4-common (=7.4.3-4ubuntu2.12), but to install version 7.4.10-1 ubuntu18.04.1 deb.sury.org 1 E: The problem cannot be corrected. There are corrupt packages on your system. </p> </blockquote> <p>The page in the PHP manual about installing the Zip extension is as follows: </p> <blockquote> <p> Starting with PHP 7.4.0, in order to use these functions, you must compile PHP with zip support using the --with-zip configuration option. Previously, zip support had to be enabled using the --enable-zip configuration option. Starting with PHP 7.4.0, the bundled libzip has been removed. </p> </blockquote> <p>Is there any direct way to install the Zip extension on my system? </p> <p>Update: Additional information: </p> <ul> <li><code>dpkg --get-selections | grep hold</code>Returns packages that are not retained. </li> <li><code>sudo apt autoremove</code> removed some packages, but did not change the message returned by <code>sudo apt install php7.4-zip</code>. </li> </ul></p>

    The following steps work fine on my Ubunut 22 and php7.4. Add PPA to get PHP 7.4 which also contains other required PHP extensions. 

    apt install software-properties-common
add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php  
apt update

    You can then install the extension

    apt install php7.4-zip
