I specifically asked if you had a xenial-updates/universe. The above
is for the *release* pocket of xenial, not xenial-updates. If you do
not have a xenial-updates repository for the universe pocket, then you
can easily get into situations like the above (that is, it appears you
have a xenial-updates repository for main (from which php7.0-common
come) but not for universe (from which php7.0-mbstring comes).
