Error when creating phpmyadmin

When we create on a new empty server a phpmyadmin install we see this error, just after ‘configuring’ notice on top.

fixing it manually right now but would like to share this

can’t fix it manually so hope you can come up with a fix :wink:

Thanks for posting to the forum!

This appears to be related to the new version of PHPMyAdmin recently released and the install package we use for PHPMyAdmin. We expect the errors to be resolved once the maintainers of the package make the necessary updates.
