Title:
  php-gettext depends on php-mbstring, but it is not listed as a
  dependency

Status in php-gettext:
  Confirmed
Status in php-gettext package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  It seems to me that php-gettext depends on php-mbstring, but it is not
  listed as a dependency. Trying to use php-gettext without having php-
  mbstring installed results in the following fatal error:

  Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function
  mb_detect_encoding() in /usr/share/php/php-gettext/gettext.inc:177

  This seems to be true for all versions of php-gettext in the
  repository.
