On Ubuntu 16.04 with the very popular and almost always used php [packages by Ondřej Surý|https://launchpad.net/%7Eondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php] zabbix-frontend-php wants to install wrong php packages (from wrong php version). This leadds to an unusable installation. You should change the package dependencies so that this does not happen. The Sury PPAs are like the gold standard of php development, so it is expected that any pro php software works with these packages, also it demonstrates good knowledge of the php ecosystem if some software works well with these packages and it is generally a sign of high quality if a software does not fail with these packages.
