Public bug reported:
Relevant installed packages:
phpbb3/xenial,now 3.0.14-1ubuntu1 all [installed]
php7.0-common/xenial-updates,xenial-security,now 7.0.4-7ubuntu2.1 amd64
[installed,automatic]
php7.0-gd/xenial-updates,xenial-security,now 7.0.4-7ubuntu2.1 amd64
[installed,automatic]
I believe the package phpbb3 uses a version of phpbb that has a depricated
syntax (when used with the php version it pulls in via APT) in its captcha
plugin.
It is located in
/usr/share/phpbb3/www/includes/captcha/plugins/phpbb_captcha_gd_plugin.php
on line 55.
All I had to do to fix it was change
$instance =& new phpbb_captcha_gd();
to
$instance = new phpbb_captcha_gd();
as described here:
