The problem is caused by outdated PHP Class Constructor syntax. To fix this issue run the following code on your terminal:

sed -ri.bak 's:function StringReader.*:function __construct($str=\x27\x27) {:' /usr/share/php/php-gettext/streams.php
sed -ri 's:function FileReader.*:function __construct($filename) {:' /usr/share/php/php-gettext/streams.php
sed -ri 's:function CachedFileReader.*:function __construct($filename) {:' /usr/share/php/php-gettext/streams.php
sed -ri.bak 's:function gettext_reader.*:function __construct($Reader, $enable_cache = true) {:' /usr/share/php/php-gettext/gettext.php
