[pkg-php-pear] Bug#830702: php-gettext depends on php-mbstring, but it is not listed as a dependency

[Pehr Söderman]

Package: php-gettext
Version: 1.0.11-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

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
