The package management pulls in php8.0 for some php libraries and php8.1 
for others (package management is hard).  If you have the php8.0 base 
installed, and say php8.1-curl, you can't call curl functions from 
php8.0.  There are other failure modes there too, but this would be the 
typical one.  I haven't really looked too closely at the specific error 
you're seeing, but the first step is always to get a consistent set of 
php versions across the board.  php8.0 is a good choice right now, and 
mixing php versions on the same system is almost always a bad idea.

Often in the case of OS upgrades, you'll be left behind with an 
inconsistent set of php versions.  You can check this out with:

# dpkg -l | grep php | awk '{print $2}'

So if you're settling on php8.0, you might want to run something like this:

# dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | egrep '(php[57])'

I.e. this would show all php7* and php5* packages.  If you're completely 
confident that this prints a complete list of only the packages that you 
want to remove, you can add " | xargs apt purge -y" to the end to get 
rid of them.  Otherwise use "apt purge" to get rid of individual 
packages as required.
