Having upgraded my virtual server to Stretch, I discovered that tt-rss
was broken because the upgrade automatically switched me to PHP 7.0,
but did not auto-install MySQL support or php-mbstring support for
that version. Is this a bug, expected behavior, or did I miss something
when upgrading?

It wasn't hard to fix, but slightly surprising.

Carl
