Bug Description

Binary package hint: php5

When upgrading php5 in Jaunty, php5-mhash gets removed because of a Conflicts.

mhash is provided by PHP itself now and therefore this is OK.

However, there's the mhash.ini conffile left, which causes a warning on startup:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mhash.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mhash.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

The conffile should probably get removed by shipping an empty php5-mhash transitional package.

Alternatively, php5-common might remove the conffile itself?!

Apart from that, I could not "apt-get purge php5-mhash", because it selects php5-common instead! ("dpkg -P php5-mhash" works though), filed as bug 541438.

This needs to be fixed in maverick before it can be nominated for a release.

I'm in the same boat after upgrading to 10.10..I get emails stating:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626/mhash.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626/mhash.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

mhash.so doesn't exist.

@Jeffrey: please do not assign bug to yourself, when you're not planning to work on it. Re-assigning Chuck.

The workaround is to remove the mhash.ini file:
rm /etc/php5/conf.d/mhash.ini (not verified)
