Thank you for this clear report.

Hi,
I assume you have installed backported php 8.1 and tried to install php-mcrypt from core.

I usally backport all relevant modules as well. Please also note, that mcrypt produces some warnings, as it is only added for compatibility. The mcrypt extension should not be used anymore.

Comment 3 Marc Krämer 2022-11-01 17:50:41 CET

So, try to install mcrypt from backport. It should fix your issue

Comment 4 Jean Michel Varvou 2022-11-01 18:20:57 CET

Hello Marc

I'm not sure I understand. I did a direct install via net installation to be under cauldron. I have no history or link to the mageia 8 branch. It is php 8.2 in RC. I don't see any new version in the backport cauldron branch...

Comment 5 Marc Krämer 2022-11-01 23:15:35 CET

oh, sorry - I didn't realize this was filed against cauldron.

Strange; it should already be linked against php 8.2 - new version will be on the mirrors soon.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
