Bug#889811: gosa-encrypt-password is broken since PHP7.2's php-mcrypt removal

Package:  gosa
Version:  2.7.4+reloaded2-13
Severity: serious

Hi,

trying to set up a new LDAP in Debian Edu Buster failed because 
/usr/sbin/gosa-encrypt-passwords is now broken in testing. The 
encryption uses mcrypt, but php-mcrypt has been deprecated in PHP7.1 and 
has been removed in PHP7.2 (which is now the PHP version in testing).

AFAIK gosa-encrypt-passwords is used by default in a non Debian Edu case 
as well.

Please check and use a different tool than mcrypt.

Wolfgang
