Public bug reported:

Kopanocore FTBFS with PHP 8.0 on Impish.

Here's the full log for more details:

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/544879021/buildlog_ubuntu-impish-
amd64.kopanocore_8.7.0-7.1ubuntu3_BUILDING.txt.gz

The problem happens because the php-mapi binary package cannot be built.
The php-mapi package carries PHP bindings, and they are compatible with
PHP 7.4 only.

Here's the lay of the land:

- kopanocore has been orphaned in Debian.  It's a complex package and is
lagging behind from upstream (Debian and Ubuntu carry version 8.7,
whereas upstream is already on version 11).

- Initially we thought it'd be possible to just get rid of the php-mapi
package and be done with it.  Indeed, doing this makes the package build
fine, but unfortunately php-mapi has reverse deps:

Reverse-Depends
* kopano-webapp-common
* z-push-backend-kopano
* z-push-kopano-gab2contacts
* z-push-kopano-gabsync

- The z-push package is *also* orphaned in Debian.

- Upstream kopanocore already supports PHP 8.0, but I don't think the
patch is backportable:

https://github.com/Kopano-dev/kopano-
core/commit/9b3bbd27ea63af180ce73a30a218d34b6e6535a4

But I may be wrong.

- Last, but not least, kopanocore blocks the OpenLDAP 2.5 transition.


I'm not entirely convinced of what the best course of action is here.  I don't 
think that we can just remove php-mapi and the related rdeps, but OTOH 
backporting the patch mentioned above or updating the whole kopanocore package 
seems too difficult.
