Hi Andreas,

looks like a misleading error message.
 
Most probably this is due to the PHP5 -> PHP 7.0 transition. As far as I 
was able to find out 'mysql_' has been deprecated as of PHP 5.5 and has 
been dropped in PHP 7.0. Apparently it has slipped our attention while 
trying to cope with the migration.

The fix might be as simple as below, but maybe it requires more 
investigation. The related file is located in /usr/share/gosa/setup/.

Please test if this patch works.
