[phpGroupWare-users] mcrypt_generic problems on 0.9.16

[Giorgio Pioda]

Hi again

here another issue since I'm testing heavily.

I've done a complete phpgroupware reinstall (clone) in the following manner:

-installing the .php stuff from cvs
-using a .sql backup for mysql side (generated with mysqldump)
-using a tar.gz of the files in /var/lib/phpgroupware

And some details more.

The productive environment I'm cloning is currently running phpgroupware 
installed as debian sid package BEFORE the epoch introduction (I didn't upgrade 
it).

Well everythings seems to be ok, but is not. In different applications I see 
mcrypt related errors.

mcrypt_generic() is complaining either for an empty string passed to (for 
example in the filemanager with error at line 171 of the 
phpgwapi/inc/class.crypto.inc.php)

or if I select "No default" for the login active module (funtion) I get a long 
list of "illegal hex digit X in .../class.crypto.inc.php" (X are different 
digits, looks like a hidden passwd spelled) at line 118

NOW THE MAIN QUESTION; have something been changed from SID-version 0.9.16 
pre-epoch:1 and current stable cvs version so that the two are not any more 
compatible? Or php5-mcrypt has been changed?

A SIDE QUESTION ALSO ARISES; once the new release will be out, what about the 
migration compatibility? Since I run the platform for 170 users in a productive 
env. it is just not soooo obvious....

cheers
