Bug Description

After a minimal ubuntu server installation, install ocsinventory-server and ocsinventory-reports.
When installation is completed, open http://your-ocsserver.example.com/ocsreports/

The following error is displayed:
"ERROR: MySQL for PHP is not properly installed.
Try installing MySQL for php package (Debian: php5-mysql)"

However, php5-mysql does not exist in xenial. Looking into the package, I found it uses mysql_connect, a function that has been deprecated for many years and was removed in php7.0. See http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php

This makes the package unusable.
