Is the sources.list file localized? "universal" vs. "universe"

Did you run apt-get update first?

I do not know why the output is like that, but there is no red dot
next to this dependency:

which means it is not a dependency. Looking on xenial, correctly up to date:

$ apt show php7.0-mbstring
Package: php7.0-mbstring
....
Version: 7.0.18-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
Provides: php-mbstring
Depends: php-common (>= 1:33), ucf, php7.0-common (=
7.0.18-0ubuntu0.16.04.1), libc6 (>= 2.14)

I'm 99% sure this is indicating you are trying to install a
php7.0-mbstring from the xenial release pocket (universe component)
and have php7.0-common from the xenial updates pocket (main
component).
