When I run any php script I get an error sodium_init() in Unknown on line 0.

Use Ubuntu 18.04, PHP 7.2.10

Examples:

admin@server:~$ php -v
PHP Fatal error:  sodium_init() in Unknown on line 0
PHP 7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (cli) (built: Sep 13 2018 13:45:02) ( NTS )

or Composer:

admin@server:~$ php composer.phar
PHP Fatal error:  sodium_init() in Unknown on line 0

sudo apt remove php-libsodium

The modern Sodium cryptography library has now become a core extension in PHP. http://php.net/manual/en/migration72.new-features.php

    This worked perfectly. Now the question is, why didn't the package maintainers mark the php-libsodium package as conflicting with php7.2-common? – Mike Oct 17 '19 at 21:06
