Title:
  ampache does not work on xenial/php7

Status in ampache package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ampache source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Ampache does not allow logins on xenial with php7.

   * Upstream commit
  (https://github.com/ampache/ampache/commit/92fcb8467070733bc70e0e0dc6a6edd3bbb2a621)
  fixes it by renaming an internal class Error to AmpError, to not
  conflict with the PHP Error class.

  [Test Case]

   * Attempt to login to the ampache page, it will error as a failure
  case.

  [Regression Potential]

   * ampache as currently packaged in Xenial does not allow logins, so
  the chance for regression is low. This bugfix is identical to the one
  committed upstream for the same issue.

  Ampache does not allow logins on xenial with php7. Here is the error
  using apache2

  [Wed May 04 08:13:00.662067 2016] [:error] [pid 13376] [client
  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:52026] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to
  undefined method Error::display() in
  /usr/share/ampache/www/templates/show_login_form.inc.php:72\nStack
  trace:\n#0 /usr/share/ampache/www/login.php(170): require()\n#1
  {main}\n  thrown in
  /usr/share/ampache/www/templates/show_login_form.inc.php on line 72

  This bug is fixed on ampache github - the xenial codebase should be
  updated to git.
