I have a question, is there a possibility on installing and making work php mcrypt with php version 7.3 ?
I tried to download some packages from here but for whatever reason all packages that interested me are …gone
and the only one that I could download when installed (php7-mcrypt-7.0.33-1.1.x86_64.rpm) yells with message :
Problem: nothing provides php7 = 7.0.33 needed by php7-mcrypt-7.0.33-1.1.x86_64
Can I somehow avoid that ?

Hi and welcome to the Forum
The php7-mcrypt module was dropped upstream in version php7-7.2.0 (see changelog), so I would guess you need to seek an alternative (or ask the php folks what alternatives there are).
So the only way for me to have this work is to downgrade my php from 7.3 to 7.2 ? (and does it have to be explicitly 7.2.0, nothing bigger like 7.2.4 ? ) I’m new to linux administration so pardon for asking.
Are there any zypper repos for this php mcrypt ? I searched far and wide and didn’t find anything, and opensuses links (below) don’t work anymore…
Hi
It needs to be less than release 7.2.0, the question is why you need
the module, have you looked for an alternative to meet your
requirements, then updating the php7 bits that use it for a later
alternative?
To be honest, you would need to looking at compiling your own php7
release and maintaining, backporting fixes etc, all additional work if
you want that module, it’s probably not supported upstream anymore
hence they dropped it.

nothing provides /usr/lib64/php needed by php7-mcrypt-7.2.13-alt1.x86_64
what does “ls -l /usr/lib64/php” show? My guess is that it’s not there and not provided by any of the other installed RPMs.With other words, that RPM was created for some distro that has a different layout and without looking into it more detailed, getting it installed some other way may still leave you with an unusable module (i. e. because the compiled-in paths and/or library names differ from your current system).
I’d go with Malcolms advice and try to find some alternative to php7-mcrypt that will still fit your needs.
