http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/virtual-package-names-list.txt says "httpd-cgi A CGI capable HTTP server" I would argue it was correct for nginx to not provide httpd-cgi, if it does not support CGI. python-moinmoin's Recommendation of libapache2-mod-wsgi | httpd-cgi is too tight to be covered by nginx (note that it is non-the-less a recommendation, not a dependency). If you introduced "httpd-fastcgi" or similar, you would need to change all httpd servers that provided fastcgi. It might be more pragmatic to change moinmoin to libapache2-mod-wsgi | nginx | httpd-cgi. I see that nginx-full provides: nginx, but nginx is not listed in policy's list of virtual packages. It's also a *real* package, albeit a dummy one. Several real packages depend on that name. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
