php7.0 dba extension missing

Please test the updated PHP7.0 package from: https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/lp1569128, once it has finished building, which should result in version 7.0.4-7ubuntu2.2~ppa3.

Thanks,
Nish

Nish Aravamudan (nacc) your update was succesful and it fixes the issue. Great Work!

Now, thank to your ppa I've a "php7.0-dba" package that works out of the box.

It's also available an update for the core "php7.0" package.

@Fabio,

Thank you very much for your prompt testing! I will work on staging this and another bugfix (possibly others) for SRU for php7.0.

-Nish

Yakkety has this fix already.

To honor your work and have a little history of this bug I posted about this BUG on my Tumblr:

http://www.fabiobuda.it/post/146358960455/php-dba-on-ubuntu-1604

Thank you again and again @Nish ;)

P.s. How many days to have this testing build in the official repo? I don't know Canonical's upstream patch politics :)

I need to do a quick trawl through the bugs to be sure that php7.0
doesn't need anymore SRU patches (rather than just doing a single-patch
SRU). I will try and get to that today, and then I'll submit a version
which fixes as many known bugs as possible. Then it will get handled
(hopefully) by the SRU team, and put into proposed. There is a minimum
baking time of 7 days in proposed, during which you (or someone else
affected) will test and verify the actual uploaded version fixes your
issue, and then presuming successful testing, it will go into updates.

Hello Nish, or anyone else affected,

Accepted php7.0 into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0/7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

As a part of the Stable Release Updates quality process a search for Launchpad bug reports using the version of php7.0 from xenial-proposed was performed and bug 1597597 was found. Please investigate this bug report to ensure that a regression will not be created by this SRU. In the event that this is not a regression remove the "verification-failed" tag from this bug report and add the tag "bot-stop-nagging" to bug 1597597 (not this bug). Thanks!

7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 is present in xenial-proposed (and not in xenial's current version (7.0.4-7ubuntu2.1). Marking as verified.

This bug was fixed in the package php7.0 - 7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
