Subject: Please decrease priority of libapache-* in php5 metapackage

Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2009 19:21:26 +0800

Package: php5
Severity: normal


In Lenny, the Depends of php5 look like this:
Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny3) | libapache2-mod-php5filter (>= 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny3) | php5-cgi (>= 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny3), php5-common (>= 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny3)

This means someone with a fully functional lighttpd setup will be told
to install apache if they want to run a php application (the one which
came up specifically was phpmyadmin).
It would be nice if php5-cgi could be made the default Dependancy
instead of an apache module.

Thanks,
kk

# apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi php5

will do what you need. Most common setup is LAMP with php5 as module.

Closing the bug.

Ondrej.

While I agree, lamp setups [1] tend to be installed with with Apache in
the install line, which aiui would pull in the libapache* dependancies?


Another thought I forgot to include in the original email which I
wondered about:

Does this mean when Apache (et al) fails to install because theres
already an httpd running the user should know all the packaging better,
or its a bug elseware ...?
