I have been having an issue in my server for a while now. My php keeps returning a warning
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'pdo_pgsql' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20170718/pdo_pgsql (/usr/lib/php/20170718/pdo_pgsql: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php/20170718/pdo_pgsql.so (/usr/lib/php/20170718/pdo_pgsql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0
Anytime this error is returned, my server request fails and hence my system fail.
I cannot install anything using apt or dpkg because all packages are broken. I don’t know how to fix this issue and any ideas or guide will be appreciated.
I currently run php 7.2 and I believe this issue started when I wanted to install php 7.3 and it failed. Apache server, Yii2 framework

Hi @abebohmuzikol,
Can you try removing your pdo_pgsql PHP driver with apt to see if that would work first:
apt remove pdo_pgsql
or
apt remove php-pgsql
You might need to add the version are using 7.3
apt remove php73-pgsql
You must properly install the PostgreSQL module and enable it. (http://php.net/manual/en/pgsql.installation.php)[PHP PHSQL installation]
P.S. do not use ‘.dll’ files on the servers with UNIX based OS, because these extensions are compiled for the Windows operating system (for UNIX based OS you must use ‘.so’ files).
