Yeah, I think I noticed this once before, but that's a bug in Ubuntu
actually. I guess a "conflicts" or "replaces" misses in the Debian
package of php-sodium.

It is not really easy to use the "system default" PHP version as far as
I know... so one has to detect this in the deploy script I guess...

Thanks for your report!

We'll be working on Debian 10 packages for the eduVPN 3.0 release, that
should also be (more) compatible with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS I hope! We lack
resources to properly create/test/support packages on Ubuntu. If you can
help, that would be very much appreciated! Thanks already for this
contribution!
