If the app needs php to function, I'd say you should definitely have the P in your depend file. Depend on php5 (or whatever specific separate CSW php5 package you need) and let the user make it work with any non-csw stuff. IMO, nothing _new_ should depend on php4 stuff, and not depending on php at all just makes for more bug reports for you! :) HTH -Ben -- Ben Walton Systems Programmer - CHASS University of Toronto C:416.407.5610 | W:416.978.4302 GPG Key Id: 8E89F6D2; Key Server: pgp.mit.edu Contact me to arrange for a CAcert assurance meeting.
