[php-maint] Bug#716659: php5-mysql: upgrade to 5.5.0+dsfg-9 breaks mediawiki

[Brian Paterni]

Package: php5-mysql
Version: 5.5.0+dfsg-9
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Upgrading php5-mysql 5.5.0+dfsg-7 -> 5.5.0+dfsg-9 breaks mediawiki which is at
version 1:1.19.7+dfsg-1 The error left in apache's error.log after attempting
to access the wiki is:

  PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function mysql_error() in
  /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/db/DatabaseMysql.php on line 305

reportbug noted to me that some php5-mysql configuration files had been
modified. I elected to include them with the report, however, I have no memory
of ever modifying them.
