For Debian distributions. Nothing worked for until I added the debian main repositories on the apt sources (I don't know how were they removed): sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

and added

deb  http://deb.debian.org/debian  stretch main
deb-src  http://deb.debian.org/debian  stretch main

after that sudo apt-get update (you can upgrade too) and finally sudo apt-get install php-sqlite3
