Mcrypt is required on Ubuntu 14.04 I am using Craft on Ubuntu 12.04 servers without problems, but when trying to run it on Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) I always get the message


  Mcrypt is required.


I installed it, however, via...

apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-curl php5-gd php5-mcrypt php5-mysql


...and restarted the web server afterwards. Any hints? Maybe this is a bug with the way craft checks for mcrypt?
I had to run sudo php5enmod mcrypt to enable the module. 

It seems this has changed between 12.04 and 14.04—in 12.04 it was enabled automatically.
