[Pkg-roundcube-maintainers] Bug#1015762: roundcube-core: Cannot be installed without pulling apache

[Philippe Clérié]

I would like to test that.

Meanwhile, assume we have already installed nginx and php-fpm. With the
current version:

$ apt install roundcube-core

will pull in libapache2-mod-php. We know that adding php suppresses that,
and I find that quite surprising.

Your change removes libapache2-mod-php, but there is still that php depend
that will pull it in. I think that adding php would still be necessary if
the above behavior is constant.

On the other hand, if php-fpm is moved from the recommends into the
depends, problem solved: php | php-fpm

Best regards,
Philippe


The trouble with common sense is that it is so uncommon.
