Package: php5
Version: 5.2.0-2
Severity: normal
Hello,
The php5 package (5.2.0-2) has too strong dependencies :
Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.2.0-2) | libapache-mod-php5 (>=5.2.0-2) |
php5-cgi (>= 5.2.0-2), php5-common (>= 5.2.0-2)
As I don't use apache, but lighttpd, so php5-cgi is installed and there is no
libapache package installed.
So today, since my version of php5-cgi before upgrade is 5.2.0-1, it doesn't
fill the dependency :
apt-get dist-upgrade =>
The following NEW packages will be installed:
apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-php5
The following packages will be upgraded:
php5 php5-cgi php5-common php5-gd
aptitude dist-upgrade is ok, so maybe it's an apt bug and not a problem of
dependencies ?
I could remove the php5 meta-package, but many packages use it because it's
easier (see apt-cache rdepends php5).
Regards
