The slayed version of libmcrypt broke apache/php/mcrypt system. Downgrading to the pre-slay version of libmcrypt solved it. May be must check around if causing problem elsewhere.

Server version: Apache/2.0.54
PHP 5.0.5 (cli) (built: Oct 19 2005 11:14:19)

problem with package libmcrypt-2.5.7-2.pkg.tar.gz
solved (no problem) with libmcrypt-2.5.7-1.pkg.tar.gz
diffs: a checksum and the magic 'slay' line... removing all the .la around
This task depends upon

What does it break exactly? Other distros that remove .la files don't have this file in either.

Libmcrypt can't load their encryption modules anymore. Try compile and run the sample 'example.c' in the doc directory of the libmcrypt tarball and you will see the problem.

The package depends on libtool to load its modules, so the .la files in the module directory are required to work indeed. Uploaded a new version which keeps the module .la files. example.c compiles and runs fine with 2.5.7-3.
