[arch-general] Why was php conflict 'php-mcrypt<=7.1' added? Breaks php56-mcrypt?
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?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

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.

Pierre, This will still need a minor version bump to be picked up by the mirrors. Unless I'm reading the changelog wrong, the version was never updated from 7.2-1 to 7.2-2 with this change, so the removal of the conflict isn't being propagated to the mirrors. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Packagers aren't required to subscribe to arch-general, so it's best to create a bugreport for this issue. -- Jelle van der Waa
