Updated package uploaded for Cauldron.

Patched package uploaded for Mageia 5.

Advisory:
========================

Updated phpmyadmin package fixes security vulnerability:

By calling some scripts that are part of phpMyAdmin in an unexpected way, it
is possible to trigger phpMyAdmin to display a PHP error message which
contains the full path of the directory where phpMyAdmin is installed
(CVE-2015-8669).
