Title:
  Cacti package is incompatible with PHP7 on Xenial

Status in cacti package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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
