I'm dubious... it spits a lot of errors in apache logs, but it seems
phpgroupware 0.9.16.015 nevertheless works (screens look nice right
after installation) when installed on a Debian testing machine (with PHP
5.3).

If you had real examples of what breaks exactly, and how hard (or not)
it is to fix or workaround, it'd be really helpful.

Best regards,
