PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'apc.so' after updating VM to NC v22

Yesterday I upgraded my NC from 21.0.3 to 22.0.0

Everything went well except a small thing.

Since the update (done by calling /var/scripts/update.sh of the great VM) I get errors like:

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘apc.so’ (tried: /usr/lib/php/20190902/apc.so (/usr/lib/php/20190902/apc.so: undefined symbol: zif_apcu_store), /usr/lib/php/20190902/apc.so.so (/usr/lib/php/20190902/apc.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) at Unknown#0

Looks like errors are caused by cron call.

Any idea where I can disable the loading of apc.so?
Checked my cli config of php for apache and found no related entry.

Webserver: apache 2.4.x
php: 7.4
os: ubuntu 18.04
db: postgresql

Read some issues at GitHub about disabling apc in the VM I am asking if uninstalling apc is helpful here?

@szaimen Maybe you have a note for me?

We’ve recently replaced acpu with redis in the update script Remove APCu and replace with Redis instead by enoch85 · Pull Request #2040 · nextcloud/vm · GitHub maybe somewhere on your instance is still a config file that tries to load the acpu extension?

Yes, seen this issue before.
Uninstalled apcu completly now and error is gone.
Will check my logs tomorrow morning after lot of crontab jobs had been running.

EDIT: Fixed it by purging apcu packages from the system.
