php71 and php are in conflict. Remove php? [Solved]

Hi, when I run

 pacman -Syu 

I get

resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
warning: removing 'php' from target list because it conflicts with 'php71'
warning: removing 'php-gd' from target list because it conflicts with 'php71-gd'
:: php71 and php are in conflict. Remove php? [y/N] y
:: php71-gd and php-gd are in conflict. Remove php-gd? [y/N] y

I presume this is because of nextcloud.  However, I have other things running with my http server (apache2) than
nextcloud,  so I wonder if it is safe to remove php.  Any ideas?

php is 7.2.1.
php71 exists, because some php applications don't work (yet) with php 7.2 (for instance I can not update php because of owncloud).

As far as I can see there is https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/7384

I personally fail to see how a php application can depend on the minor version of a programming language, but that's me. ;-)

Well, in view of the discussion in this thread on Archlinux Forum, probably it is safe not to downgrade
php to php71.  Or I will have to search manually all php71 related packages to replace php related packages

By the time of writing this, nextcloud is already on the 13 version and should be php72 compatible.

The issue is solved now with new version of nextcloud.  Thanks.
