Kind of deja vu of an earlier issue https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/23559 A matter of matching all components that work together.
And remember when you change something, it's not always immediate on the servers.

I am getting 11 entries of this error in my log for every page load:
Declaration of Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorInterface::setLocale($locale) must be compatible with Symfony\Contracts\Translation\LocaleAwareInterface::setLocale(string $locale) {"exception":"[object] (Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException(code: 64): Declaration of Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorInterface::setLocale($locale) must be compatible with Symfony\Contracts\Translation\LocaleAwareInterface::setLocale(string $locale) at /home/forge/contactele.com/vendor/symfony/translation/TranslatorInterface.php:24)
As you can imagine, my log gets very large in size rather quickly. I am getting this error after updating my Forge server to 7.2 (7.2.26 to be exact). I updated PHP from 7.1.4 to 7.2 because I pushed code that required PHP > 7.2 i am running Laravel Spark (I believe the Laravel version that Spark is using is 5.6).
I found this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58975559/symfony-component-debug-exception-fatalerrorexception-laravel-error
I tried the solution by adding this to composer.json:
"require": {
...
"symfony/translation": "4.3.8",
}
Then running composer update but that results in this error:
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
mmap() failed: [12] Cannot allocate memory
mmap() failed: [12] Cannot allocate memory

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your attempt to help @jlrdw but it looks like I had a different issue.
First off, it was a mis-statement when I said I was getting 11 entries of the error I showed above for each page load. I actually had 2-3 of those error entries for every second. My log files grew in size very quickly.
When I checked my worker status in Forge, I noticed there were 14 queue workers running when I had only configured 10. So I deleted all of my queue workers in Forge and noted 4 remaining.
I then followed my own solution to another problem here: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/forge/how-to-manually-terminal-command-delete-queue-workers
This removed all of my queue workers from the server. I checked the logs and no more ongoing Symfony errors. I then performed a composer update as mentioned above and no longer did it result in errors.
The only thing I can think of is that while I was doing an update to PHP on my server, job(s) were being performed by queue workers.
Anyway, this problem is solved.
