This issue may be trivial (you “just” need to skip the Engines
testsuite), but a look at the last buildlog of phpmyadmin reveals 459
warnings, most of them related to PHPUnit 9 (that are now errors).

I’m sorry I haven’t noticed this sooner: the new autopkgtest failures
didn’t show up about the transition of phpunit from experimental (and
they still don’t show up regarding the transition of phpunit to
testing).

I notice that PHPMyAdmin 5 has already been released a year ago, and the
next one will be 5.1 (already RC) according to their last announcement.
On the other end, 4.9 seems to be the LTS to support PHP 5.5-7.0 (no end
of extended security support available on their public download page).

Since version 5 is not yet in Debian, I assume you intend to ship
version 4.9 for Bullseye (but would prefer to have an explicit
acknowledgement before trying to look at all of these issues). On the
other hand, I believe this version won’t be compatible with PHP 8.0, so
you may want to at least document that in a bug blocking #976811 if you
intend to stick with 4.9.

Anyway, I apologize for pushing PHPUnit 9 to unstable so late in the
release cycle (#976811 transition: php8.0 triggered some panic), and
intend to help fixing those issues if needed, so please, do not hesitate
to ask, I CCed the PHP PEAR (and Composer) Maintainers list for that.

Regards

David
