Bug Description

php5-mysqlnd is a drop in replacement for the php5-mysql client library. It has also been the upstream default mysql client since 5.4. However, packaged software in the repository have a dependency on php5-mysql. Because php5-mysqlnd doesn't provide (fulfil) that dependency, it cannot be used as a drop in replacement for the nonnative mysql driver.

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

Ubuntu's PHP packaging is mostly derived from Debian. Does this affect Debian as well? If so, there should be a bug filed in Debian for this issue.
