Public bug reported:
The php5-mcrypt source packages has been removed from ubuntu. The reason
given at http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/removals.txt is:
(From Debian) [auto-cruft] obsolete source package
This applies to Debian, because they build php5-mcrypt from the php5
source. We don't; the changelog for the latest php5 merge states:
- debian/control, debian/rules: Disable a few build dependencies and
accompanying binary packages which we do not want to support in main:
...
+ libmcrypt-dev/php5-mcrypt (separate php-mcrypt source)
The result is that we don't have a php5-mcrypt package, either from separate
source or from the php5 source. We need to either adjust php5 so it builds
php5-mcrypt, or restore the separate php5-mcrypt source package.
This bug currently makes phpmyadmin (and likely other packages)
uninstallable
