@karel I used this command dpkg --get-selections | grep hold and there is no broken package — kosar, Sep 30 '23 at 06:00

PHP 8.2 is not in the default Ubuntu 20.04 repos, so you will have to use ppa:ondrej/php. You didn't mention if you are using it.

This is what I just tested and it works on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install php8.2-dev
