[Bug 1577482] [NEW] PHPMyAdmin requires mbstring

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

When trying to use PHPMyAdmin without the mbstring extension installed, I get a fatal error on the main page:
"The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration."

This is coming from line 95 in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/common.inc.php:
/**
 * Warning about mbstring.
 */
if (! function_exists('mb_detect_encoding')) {
    PMA_warnMissingExtension('mbstring', $fatal = true);
}

This is an unconditional check, so this should be a Depends.
