this sounds like some kind of locale-specific problem, i definitely
didn't have that on my test systems.

hmm... so if we change this to match your settings, it might break
things for others?
can you please do the following and let me know if it also works?
- set the php.ini back to its default value
- put the following in /etc/cacti/apache.conf:
php_value mbstring.func_overload 7
if it won't break things for other users, i'll put it in the default
conf file. if it will break things, i will comment it out with a
mention of your problem, and put something in README.Debian as well.
thanks for your help with this,
sean
ps - i'm now uploading cacti to unstable, you should be able to pull
it from there.
