Public bug reported:

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.
