nginx - php7.3 on Ubuntu 18.04 using ppa:ondrej/php wants to install apache2 on upgrade
I wanted to install php7.3 on Ubuntu 18.04 using the following ppa:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y php7.3-fpm
So far it worked flawlessly, but when I do apt upgrade now it forces me to install apache2-bin and php8.0, which I do not want as I am using Nginx.
How can I upgrade now without installing new packages I do not want?

Solution:
apt upgrade install(update) also dependenc packages.. try upgrade manually sudo apt --only-upgrade install Package or use apt-mark hold Package - this will prevent the package from being automatically installed, upgraded or removed
