[Bug 1571432] [NEW] Cacti package is incompatible with PHP7 on Xenial

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Nish Aravamudan (nacc):

The Cacti web interfaces fails the Cacti install in a default Xenial
install with all dependancies installed via apt-get.

PHP7 no longer provides the mysql extension, however Cacti exepects it
and Cacti install fails.

This can be patched by stopping it from looking for the extension, but
there appear to be other errors as well due to incompatibility between
Cacti and PHP7.

Easily reproduced by installing Cacti on Xenial and observing what
happens.

http://<servername>/cacti/install/

Error

The following PHP extensions are missing:

    mysql

Please install those PHP extensions and retry

** Affects: cacti (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
         Status: Confirmed
