Description Peter Ajamian 2016-05-02 10:00:43 UTC

Description of problem:

roundcubemail is missing php-mcrypt as a requirement.  Roundcube lists this as a required module during installation but it is not installed automatically by yum (as it should be) when you install the roundcubemail package.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
roundcubemail-1.1.4-2.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
easy to reproduce.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install roundcubemail on system that does not already have php-mcrypt installed.
2.  Browse to the installation page for roundcubemail

Actual results:

Roundcube lists mcrypt as a missing dependancy.

Expected results:

Roundcube should list mcrypt as a satisfied dependancy.

Additional info:

Easy workaround is to just "yum install php-mcrypt", however this should be listed as a package dependancy so it gets installed automatically with roundcubemail.

Comment 1 Remi Collet 2016-05-02 10:06:29 UTC

roundcubemail doesn't need mcrypt.
This is only a fallback when openssl is not available.

More about why we don't want mcrypt dependency:

More: this is not used at all in upcoming version 1.2

Comment 2 Peter Ajamian 2016-05-02 10:25:18 UTC

Oh this is my bad.  For some reason I mistakenly saw mcrypt listed as required in the roundcube installer, but looking back at it again it's actually listed as missing.

Removing php-mcrypt and libmcrypt shows that roundcube still works fine without them.

Go ahead and close this bug as "user was utterly confused" or something like that (won't fix). :-)
