phplibsodiumsodium

Unable to load dynamic library 'sodium'

Ubuntu 22.04 up to date PHP8.2

I get this Warning:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'sodium' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20190902/sodium (/usr/lib/php/20190902/sodium: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php/20190902/sodium.so (/usr/lib/php/20190902/sodium.so: undefined symbol: _array_init)) in Unknown on line 0

How can I resolve it?

I checked the following things:

apt install php-sodium

say it is allready installed

php -m | grep sodium

say is installed

phpinfo show it too

Solution

  • The solution for me was pretty simple:

    I had to delete the old php Versions

    apt purge php7.4* php8.0* php8.1*

    After that no more errors will be shown.
