$ sudo apt-get install php7.4-imap
php7.4-imap : depends on: php7.4-common (= 7.4.3-4ubuntu2.5) but7.4.15-7+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 should be installed
$ sudo apt-get install php7.4-common
php7.4-common is up to date (7.4.15-7+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1).
(roughly translated the apt reply)
I found similar issues in other posts and so removed some of the obsolete repositories from /etc/apt/sources.list.d; the result is unchanged. Any ideas?
sources.list has been modified (probably on an update) in February; xenial being replaced by focal. Could that be the issue, and if yes: how can I solve it?
sources.list:

update: I removed all php7.4 packages and reinstalled them (plus php7.4-imap). That resulted in a downgrade to php7.4-3, but at least it works.
