php-horde was dropped in focal, and should be for groovy as well, and
blacklisted:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php-horde/+bug/1880776

php-horde-* wraps a vast number of other system packages, so whenever
there are any changes in plumbing, invariably some chunk of php-horde
ends up broken. We don't see a high enough usage of php-horde to
warrant the effort maintaining it has been taking.
