Agree with Mike that it's *mostly* painless.  However, have been 
fighting with this Mythweb issue since doing the upgrade.  It continues 
to fail, thinking that the mysqli extension is missing, but php says 
that it's loaded.

Tried using your fix above, got this:

[rcs at vader ~]$ sudo /etc/php/7.2/cli# mv 
/etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-mythweb.ini /etc/php/7.2/apache2/conf.d/
[rcs at vader ~]$ sudo a2enmod php7.2
Considering dependency mpm_prefork for php7.2:
Considering conflict mpm_event for mpm_prefork:
Considering conflict mpm_worker for mpm_prefork:
Module mpm_prefork already enabled
Considering conflict php5 for php7.2:
Module php7.2 already enabled
[rcs at vader ~]$ systemctl restart apache2

Still fails, tells me mysqli isn't loaded.

PHP 5 is no longer installed.

Aaargh...!

Thanks - Bob
