All,
Why was the conflict 'php-mcrypt<=7.1' added to php? It now seeks to remove php56-mcrypt. I require both for older web apps not yet ported to php7. These packages do not conflict as I have used both for a couple of years. Now I get:
:: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... :: php and php56-mcrypt are in conflict (php-mcrypt). Remove php56-mcrypt? [y/N] error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: php and php56-mcrypt are in conflict (php-mcrypt<=7.1)
Does this need to be fixed in AUR or is there a better way to handle this??
Seems like it is already fixed under the title "Remove useless conflict" https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/php&id=e1c14f1569f7da2fd0acf4738771be1eb1096f1d -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
