I've been having this issue for a week and a half now. All my searching has yielded no results or results that simply do not work. None of my websites on the server use PHP8.x at this time thankfully but i would like to move them to variations of 8 for obvious reasons. What seemed to be a trigger for the event is when i did a fresh install of wordpress on a new website for a friend that I was helping him build, once i got it installed on PHP 8.4 all versions of 8 crashed and would never restart. Prior to that his simple website with no content ran away with memory on php 8.4 using 80% of all the servers memory.
I have absolutely no idea how to resolve this issue and get PHP running again, this is on all versions of PHP 8.x. I have tried to reinstall from custombuild but that bombs out.
As indicated in the below information i also tried the apt --fix-broken install command, still nothing there. This error message comes about every hour so clearly i'm getting a bit tired of it.
I'm open to suggestions here to resolve this issue once and for all. Worst case here I guess I could request a new server build and do a migration but i'd rather not unless that's what i need to do.
