phpmyadmin appears to have quite a list of pkg relations: http://packages.debian.org/sid/phpmyadmin phpbb3 has some too: http://packages.debian.org/sid/phpbb3 But already I see a discrepancy. Does phpbb3 not support libapache2-mod-php5filter or php5-fpm? These relations are basically duplicated in lots of php pkgs. > But as a Suggests: it is safe and innocuous.

AFAIK apache2 and lighttpd can be installed at the same time. -- Olaf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
