deprecated comment in mcrypt.ini

[Thomas]

When start PHP on the command line, I get:

PHP Deprecated: Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mcrypt.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0

Please replace it with ; to avoid the message.

Thanks,
Thomas

SRU process update:

Error messages are printed on stderr when running the php command line interface, as well as in the apache error logs when mod_php is used.

This bug has been fixed in Maverick by replacing comments using the deprecated '#' notation by the new ';' notation.

PATCH: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48021734/mcrypt_ini_comments.debdiff

TEST CASE: run the "php" command in a terminal. The following message is printed on stderr:
PHP Deprecated: Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mcrypt.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0"

Chances of a regression are null.

Updated the system, the bug is still there...
The patch can't be applied.
Thanks.

[val.kotlarov.hoffman (val-hoffman)]

The temp. solution for those who encountered this (oh silly me!)
Just go to this file, and replace "#" with ";".

Not worth a SRU. Invalidating the Lucid task. If you disagree, please reopen the task.

Thanks,
Fabrice

could we get an update for lucid too, as lucid is still on 5.3.2-0ubuntu1

remember, lucid is an LTS release, and is supported for 5 years on servers.

[Luke Faraone (lfaraone)]

This was rejected as an SRU since it is a trivial bug that only generates a deprecation notice.

on your installation and you will be happy.

Isn't this an ideal bug to fix in 10.04.1? Indeed, the fix is trivial, but it's kinda clueless to release stuff like this. I agree it's not worth an SRU, but let's just try and make Ubuntu work at once, instead of 'after manually fixing these bugs, Ubuntu is great!' :)

[Elijah Osborne (elijahosborne)]

With 10.04 I fixed with:

sudo gedit /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mcrypt.ini

remove the # character and save file and the message goes away.

[PeGa! (reparaciones)]

Just wanted to add that removing comments is not a solution. New comment standards are semicolons, like those in php5.ini file.

thus, replacing # for a ; will do the trick without breaking anything.

[Erick John Cuevas (stjohnmedrano)]

I encounter this problem just today, thanks for the info mates.

I was wondering why they did not replace it?

anyway thanks.
