Ubuntu 16.04 released today. PHP upgraded to 7.0!

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS was released today. I'm not usually excited about new releases, but this one brings PHP 7.0!

See the release notes:

Nice! Will get it now.

Keep calm.

Hm, MySQL 5.7 has a dependency problem. Does somebody installed it somehow?

I haven't actually installed it yet, but there's this:

The symptoms I see are described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/760724/16...sql-server

So, it looks like the issue only effects people upgrading to 16.04, as opposed to doing a clean install. If that's the case, I've had similar issues when trying to upgrade PHP to version 7 on Ubuntu 14.04. The solution ended up being a re-installation of one of the packages, although I never wrote down which one, and was just glad to have got my system back to normal so I could get back to work. If it was me, I'd start a new thread over at ubuntuforums.org.

Php 7 is a breathe of fresh air after learning to program using C and Pascal. Variable  strictness should always have been an available option, same as VB.

My only concern has been discussed a couple of months ago.
