[Owncloud] PHP module mb multibyte can't be found after ownCloud update

[Advrk Aplmrkt]

Ah I see, I installed the module and ownCloud is working once again.
(is it listed as a requirement somewhere?) I will try out the current
state of Contacts and Calendar that I have been eagerly awaiting.
Thank you!
