Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.
Based on the bug report above, the following snippet caught my attention:
Error: command ['/usr/
This indicates that there is your Apache configuration file is trying to load libphp7.2.so, but cannot find it because, as can be checked in the DpkgTerminalLog.txt file, it's been disabled in favour of php7.4. This indicates that it is possible that there is an error your Apache configuration file.
Something else that made me frown was the following error (also in the DpkgTerminalLog.txt file)

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem,
rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I am marking this bug as 'Incomplete'.
However, if you believe that this is really a bug in Ubuntu, then we would
be grateful if you would provide a more complete description of the problem
with steps to reproduce, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu
rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug
status back to "New".
