I recently upgraded my debian installation from wheezy to jessie. Now I get only blank pages when accessing phpmyadmin.

The apache log says:


Fatal error: Call to undefined function __() in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/core.lib.php on line 235


I already tried purging (+ deleting all config in /etc/apache2 and /etc/php5 /etc/phpmyadmin) and reinstalling all related packages (phpmyadmin, php5, apache2)...

I found a similar thread that suggested to check the write permission on the php sessions directory:


ls -lah /var/lib/php5/sessions/
drwx-wx-wt 2 root root 4,0K Jan 3 19:09 .


looks ok to me, but to make sure I tried chmod +rwX on the whole thing - still no luck.

I'm a bit out of my wits... What else can I try without starting from scratch with a clean new debian installation? Did I miss any folders or config files on my cleaning efforts?

BTW: First, I got the following error:


PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/usr/share/php/php-gettext/gettext.inc' (include_path='.') in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/select_lang.lib.php on line 463


The file mentioned in this message existed and was readable for all users.
I then tried:


uninstalling and reinstalling all packages with "php" in their names (including phpmyadmin)
restoring default php configuration (delete /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file)
using the apache default site config (000-default.conf)


... but I still got this error. Then I purged everything and got the error I first mentioned above.
