Package: php5 Version: 5.2.6-3 Severity: minor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
I am a bit unsure about this, but at least it surprised me as a user so an explanation could be needed. Please point me in the correct direction in case it's a FAQ... I prefer the threaded apache2-mpm-worker and am therefore using php5-cgi instead of libapache2-mod-php5. When running "apt-get dist-upgrade" I was presented with canardo:/home/bjorn# apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: apache2-mpm-worker The following NEW packages will be installed: apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-php5 The following packages will be upgraded: checksecurity freeradius freeradius-common gpsd gpsd-clients libfreeradius2 libgps17 libgraphviz4 php-pear php5 php5-cgi php5-cli php5-common php5-gd php5-imap php5-ldap php5-mcrypt php5-mysql php5-pspell php5-snmp php5-tidy php5-xmlrpc reportbug rhino x11-xserver-utils 25 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I know I could (and should?) have avoided this by doing "apt-get upgrade", but the point is that the suggested removal of apache2-mpm-worker is completely unnecessary. It seems to be caused by php5 depending on specific versions of libapache2-mod-php5 | php5-cgi. This means that the dependendcy is unsatisfied at the point of upgrade and apt-get will try to satisfy it by installing the first option it finds: The newer version of libapache2-mod-php5. I believe the versioned dependecy is unnecessary. php5 could just as well depend on libapache2-mod-php5 | libapache2-mod-php5filter | php5-cgi, php5-common and thereby avoid apt-get dragging in libapache2-mod-php5 when libapache2-mod-php5filter or php5-cgi is already installed.
