same regression in 5.5

[Robie Basak (racb)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Confirmed. I can reproduce on 5.5.3+dfsg-1ubuntu2 using the test case in bug 1069529.

Assuming this was inadvertent and not intentional, we can add a dep8 test to catch future regressions together with any fix.

I've verified that this also affects Debian, so have filed a bug there.

This bug was fixed in the package php5 - 5.5.8+dfsg-2ubuntu1

---------------
php5 (5.5.8+dfsg-2ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - d/control: drop Build-Depends that are in universe: firebird-dev,
      libc-client-dev, libmcrypt-dev, libonig-dev, libqdbm-dev.
    - d/rules: drop configuration of packages that are in universe: qdgm,
      onig.
    - d/rules: drop CONFIGURE_APACHE_ARGS settings since now we don't build
      interbase or firebird.
    - d/rules: export DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH properly.
    - d/control: drop binary packages php5-imap, php5-interbase and
      php5-mcrypt since we have separate versions in universe.
    - d/modulelist: drop imap, interbase and mcrypt since we have separate
      versions in universe.
    - d/rules: drop configuration of imap and mcrypt since we have separate
      versions in universe.
    - d/source_php5.py, d/rules: add apport hook.
    - d/rules: stop mysql instance on clean just in case we failed in tests.
    - d/control: switch Build-Depends of netcat-traditional to netcat-openbsd
      as only the latter is in main.
    - d/rules, d/control: drop use of dh_systemd as it is in universe.
    - debian/rules: re-enable tests
  * Previously undocumented changes:
    - d/tests/{cgi,cli,mod_php}: dep8 tests for common use cases.
  * Drop changes:
    - d/p/{CVE-2013-6420,CVE-2013-6712,fix-freetype-ftbfs}.patch: upstreamed.
    - d/control: relegate php5-json and pkg-php-tools from Recommends to
      Suggests as they are in universe: php5-json and pkg-php-tools are now in
      main (LP: #1242726).
    - d/control, d/rules: re-enable libedit-dev: libedit-dev is now enabled in
      Debian.
  * d/tests/mod-php: rename from mod_php; the previous name was illegal.
  * d/tests/{cgi,mod-php}: use new default Apache DocumentRoot /var/www/html.
  * d/p/use-system-timezone.patch, d/tests/system-timezone: use system
    timezone by default, instead of requiring it to be configured.
    (LP: #1244343).
