So I think the s/mysql/mysqli/ fix should be done in cacti, not in adodb: mysql has been yelding deprecated warnings for a while. As you pointed out, its removal has been announced in debian-devel-announce. I think the source of confusion is that the adodb *driver name* is called "database_type" in cacti configuration file. This is not the best name, and maybe adding a comment there would be useful... I'm reassigning the bug to cacti. Please clone and reassign if you'd like php and/or adodb to continue to have mysql driver support... -- Nirgal
