Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cacti

Cacti should not depend on libapache2-mod-php5.

r...@news:~# lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 9.10
Release:        9.10

I prefer to use apache2-mpm-worker along with libapache2-mod-fcgid to
run my PHP sites.  This combination will run Cacti perfectly fine, but
whenever I want to install it I get prompted that Cacti is also going to
be removed as it depends on libapache2-mod-php5.

r...@news:~# aptitude install libapache2-mod-fcgid apache2-mpm-worker

Then, if I want to remove libapache2-mod-php5, I get:

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.

I understand this is a very tricky bug, as Cacti must depend on some
sort of php5/apache being installed.

In the mean time I will just use Cacti from sources instead of the
package.

Hope this is enough info.

Depends on libapache2-mod-php5.  This is a bug, as I would like to run PHP5 
through apache worker using FCGI, which would run cacti just fine.
