Upgrade to 1.8.0 fails - can't connect to mysql

Bug description:
After upgrading to 1.8.0 I couldn't open the admin/upgrade.php page.
The error displayed stated that mahara could not connect to the mysql
db. Running on Ubuntu LTS Server.
After some poking around I managed to get things running by altering
the code in init.php.
The new code read:
// Transform $CFG->dbtype into the name of the ADODB driver we will use
if (is_postgres()) {
$CFG->dbtype = 'postgres7';
}
else if (is_mysql()) {
// If they have mysqli, use it. Otherwise, fall back to the older
"mysql" extension.
if (extension_loaded('mysqli')) {
$CFG->dbtype = 'mysqli';
}
else {
$CFG->dbtype = 'mysql';
}
}
I replace this with:
// Transform $CFG->dbtype into the name of the ADODB driver we will use
if (is_postgres()) {
$CFG->dbtype = 'postgres7';
}
else if (is_mysql()) {
// If they have mysqli, use it. Otherwise, fall back to the older
"mysql" extension.
//if (extension_loaded('mysqli')) {
// $CFG->dbtype = 'mysqli';
//}
//else {
// $CFG->dbtype = 'mysql';
//}
$CFG->dbtype = 'mysql';
}
I also receive the error:
The mysqli PHP extension is not installed on your server. Thus, Mahara
is falling back to the deprecated original mysql PHP extension. We
recommend installing mysqli. Trouble is that fallback doesn't seem to
be working at all.
Fact is mysqli is included with php5-mysql in ubuntu. Mahara doesn't
seem to see that. Maybe the code that is suppose to detect that in
init.php blocks connection to the server, stopping mahara from running
at all.
This does not happen in 1.7.x.
