Package: php-mail-mimedecode
Version: 1.5.5-2
Severity: important
When starting to dist-upgrade my machine, APT would pull in a fully fledged apache Webserver.
This is caused by a dependency to the php5 meta package which
Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 | libapache2-mod-php5filter | php5-cgi | php5-fpm
(versions omitted)
Neither of them should be required IMHO. Wouldn't a dependency on php5-common be correct?
This is done e.g. in php-pear...
php5:
This package is a metapackage that, when installed, guarantees that you
have at least one of the four server-side versions of the PHP5 interpreter
installed. Removing this package won't remove PHP5 from your system, however
it may remove other packages that depend on this one.
In these circumstances, the package won't be usable in a CLI-only PHP environment,
thus severity: important
Thanks for fixing this (maybe in the next stable point-release as well?)
Yours
Matthias Merz
