I just installed Breezy on a box where I want to run cacti to monitor
several snmp-capable boxes. After an apt-get install cacti, I have
both apache and apache2 package installed. What's up with that??
msoulier at espresso:~$ dpkg -l | grep apache
ii apache 1.3.33-8ubuntu1

And a mix of php support!

php5, I might add, and only for apache2! Meanwhile, the docs that ship
with cacti have a config section for php4!
msoulier at espresso:~$ cat cacti.apache.conf

</DirectoryMatch>
Can you guys like, make up your minds? Are we going to install apache,
or apache2? php4, or php5?
Is there some coordination going on here? I'm very confused. Should
not "apt-get install cacti" pull in all required packages? Apparently
not.
