Assuming php5-mysqlnd is already installed.
apt-get download phpmyadmin
To do that download the ssh script videbcontroll.
chmod +x videbcontrol.sh
./videbcontroll phpmyadmin_package.deb
Type Ctrl
+ O
to switch in INSERT mode
And edit the package like the following:
php5-mysql | php5-mysqli
to:
php5-mysql | php5-mysqli | php5-mysqlnd
That way I add mysqlnd as an alternative!
Now save it by typing ESC
+ :wq
+ Enter
sudo dpkg -i phpmyadmin_3.4.10.1-1_all.modfied.deb
