Php extension for Wordpress missing

Support
1

dear all

greetings of the day,

I am a new user of yunohost and while its been working smoothly I recently upgraded to YunoHost 4.0.4 hosted on a VPS ruling Debian 9.

I am getting the error

bad gateway

previously it was showing that php is missing an extension for Wordpress

when I check the system upgrades php-mysql is available to upgrade but when I try to upgrade I get the following log

Hmmokay, so can you show the output of :

apt install php-mysql

and

apt policy php-mysql
3

apt install php-mysql

gives the following error

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:

php-mysql : Depends: php7.3-mysql but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

and

apt policy php-mysql

gives

php-mysql:

Hmokay if my intuition is right you can try:
