Unable to install PHP 7.4 Zip extension in Ubuntu 20.04

I’m getting this error when running sudo apt-get install php7.4-zip:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php7.4-zip : Depends: php7.4-common (= 7.4.3-4ubuntu2.12) but 7.4.10-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The PHP manual page for installing the Zip extension says this:

As of PHP 7.4.0, in order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the –with-zip configure option. Previously, zip support had to be enabled by using the –enable-zip configure option. As of PHP 7.4.0, the bundled libzip is removed.

What is the straightforward method for getting the Zip extension installed on my system?

UPDATE: Additional information:

  • dpkg --get-selections | grep hold returns no held packages.
  • sudo apt autoremove removed some packages but did not change the message returned by sudo apt install php7.4-zip
