[Pkg-roundcube-maintainers] Bug#817922: PEAR issues

[Yuri D'Elia]

Source: roundcube
Severity: important

I'm trying to install roundcube from stratch on sid along with php5-fpm, but it
fails silently with an internal error.

The error is caused in a silenced call to PEAR::setErrorHandling
(/usr/share/roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/bootstrap.php:102). The error is
fatal though. It shouldn't be silenced!

The current php-pear (1.10.1.*) requires php 7, so I assume pear now only works
properly with PHP 7?

But roundcube-core explicitly depends on php5 packages (php5-cli, etc). Does
roundcube-core work correctly with php 7? If so, package dependencies should be
updated.

It seems that the current combination cannot possibly work.
