Description: Zabbix network monitoring solution - PHP front-end
 Zabbix is the ultimate enterprise-level software designed for
 real-time monitoring of millions of metrics collected from tens of
 thousands of servers, virtual machines and network devices.
 .
 This package provides a web-browsable front-end to the Zabbix server, which
 can display graphs of the data collected from clients.

As you can see the frontend package depends on "php-mysql | php-pgsql".

This "mysql" module was removed from PHP 7.4 and zabbix actually uses mysqli.

So the correct depends should be "php-mysqli | php-pgsql".

Expected:
"Depends: php-mysqli | php-pgsql, ..." instead of "Depends: php-mysql | php-pgsql, ..."
