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

[Andrew Oakley]

I have removed php5 metapackage and this allowed me to complete apt-get
dist-upgrade without installing apache and retaining the other php5-
packages.

Ondrej - bearing in mind I removed php5:

Description: server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (meta-package)
 This package is a meta-package that, when installed, guarantees that you
 have at least one of the four server-side versions of the PHP5 interpreter
 installed.  Removing this package won't remove PHP5 from your system, however
 it may remove other packages that depend on this one.
 .
 PHP5 is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed
 from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
 in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically
 generated pages quickly.

So by removing and then re-installing PHP5, the problem now doesn't
appear. Very odd.
