Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php8.1-bcmath : Depends: php8.1-common (= 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14) but 8.1.18-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I indeed have 8.1.18-1+ubuntu18.04.1 but see no way to upgrade to 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14. I have run apt update and apt upgrade. When I try to reinstall php, I get this:
$ sudo apt reinstall php8.1

You are using the deb.sury.org PHP repositories/PPAs.
The bcmath library is NOT available on the sury.org repositories, and is only available as part of the Ubuntu repositories. You cannot mix and match the PHP 8.1 packages in the Ubuntu repository with the deb.sury.org repositories’ core PHP libraries.
Either the deb.sury.org repositories need to provide an upgraded version of php8.1-bcmath, or you have to remove the deb.sury.org PHP repositories and revert to 8.1.2 PHP from the Ubuntu repositories.
There is no other ‘hybrid’ solution here.
