A potential bug with php-mcrypt in 5.2.10?

Just thought I'd share this

yum install php-mcrypt

Error: Missing Dependency: libmcrypt.so.4 is needed by package php-mcrypt-5.2.10-1.el5.art.i386 (atomic-testing)

I got around it by using

Code: Select all

yum install php-mcrypt.x86_64

First thing to check, are you running the latest yum from centos?

[Highland]

I believe so

Code: Select all

# rpm -q yum
yum-3.2.19-18.el5.centos

[scott]

Ok, then thats the known x86_64 issue with yum & centos. Nothing I can do from my side I'm afraid

Thanks for this. I just deployed three new VPS's this morning, of course they came stock with 5.1.6 which not even PMA likes, and ran into this problem right away.

It can also be mitigated by installing php-mycrypt 5.1.6 before enabling the atomic repo, then it will upgrade to 5.2.11 without complaint.

I might only come on here once every year, but this forum never fails to save my time, and bacon.
