Package: backuppc
Version: 3.3.0-2
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
I think this app are a interesting option for mantain some backups, but,
having some httpd package as required you're requesting to install an
additional
service on some servers who doesn't require it.
As I can read on apt-cache:
* A powerful http/cgi user interface allows administrators to view log
files,
configuration, current status and allows users to initiate and cancel
backups and browse and restore files from backups very quickly.
These option can be a good idea for some users, but, why make it mandatory?
You can
configure / manage app and read logs from console (The preferred way for
manage
a production server), and having httpd as required request some admins to
have
more packages than they required on the server, wasting resources and
having more
possible security breachs.
Please change the package dependencies for httpd server to recommend or
optional, not
a required one.
Thanks,

BackuPPC is intended us ia together with a webserver as user interface.
Said that, not running it with a webserver is something a experienced
admin will be able to archieve for example by creating a dummy httpd
package using equivs.
Closing this bug as "wontfix".
