[Bug 423071] Re: PHP5 now depends on libapache2-mod-php5 even if lighttpd installed

No problem in php5, seems like apt is chosing wrong packages.

** Package changed: php5 (Ubuntu) => apt (Ubuntu)

Title:
  PHP5 now depends on libapache2-mod-php5 even if lighttpd installed

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: php5

  
  Following a recent apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade , PHP5 appears to now depend on libapache2-mod-php5 .

  Since I use lighttpd, and do not have nor want apache installed, this
  dependency then attempts to drag in the whole apache server. If I let
  it do this, I suspect apache would clash horribly with lighttpd.

  I have therefore refused the latest updates. I know I could work
  around this with judicious use of dpkg force options, but I would
  prefer it if the PHP5 dependency were fixed.

  I am using Ubuntu Hardy server 8.04.3.
