** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * PHPMyAdmin reports run-time errors due to missing functionality from
+ php-xml and php-mbstring, which in prior versions of PHP were packaged
+ with the core.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Install phpmyadmin 4.5.4.1-2ubuntu1 and attempt to use the provided
+ web interface, it will fail to load.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * The likelihood of regression is very low, as no code change is being
+ included. Instead, we are simply expressing correctly a run-time
+ dependency of the phpmyadmin source.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * We have sync'ed the package in Yakkety and a similar change has been made
in the version there.
+
When trying to use PHPMyAdmin without the mbstring extension installed, I get
a fatal error on the main page:
"The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration."
This is coming from line 95 in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/common.inc.php:
/**
- * Warning about mbstring.
- */
+ * Warning about mbstring.
+ */
if (! function_exists('mb_detect_encoding')) {
- PMA_warnMissingExtension('mbstring', $fatal = true);
+ PMA_warnMissingExtension('mbstring', $fatal = true);
}
This is an unconditional check, so this should be a Depends.
