[Koha] problem Installing koha on ubuntu 12.04

[Katrin]

If you are using Ubuntu 16.04 you can configure your MySQL to be less 
strict or use MariaDB. Instructions can be found on the wiki:

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages#Ubuntu_16.04_and_MySQL_5.7

Hope this helps,

Katrin
