Re: Trouble Installing because of php7.2-mcrypt

Ubuntu 16.04 ships php-mcrypt and php7.0-mcrypt, why you have php7.2-mcrypt?

Re: Trouble Installing because of php7.2-mcrypt

I have tried to install iredmail with the exact same setup as the OP.
I am receiving this same error.
PHP 7.0 is installed not 7.2
I have tried installing with php 5.6 or 7.0 activated both with mcrypt module installed.
Same error.
I dont understand why it is asking for something that does not exist(seems like there is no such thing as mcypt for php7.2)
