Hi, I tried to install apache2 on my new etch system. After apache2 package installation I tried to install php4 package. During this package installation I noticed dependency problems:

Package apache2-mpm-prefork is not installed. Package apache2-mpm-event is not installed. (Reading database ... 28384 files and directories currently installed.) Removing apache2-mpm-worker ... Stopping web server (apache2).... Selecting previously deselected package apache2-mpm-prefork. So my question is - is it normal that php4 want to uninstall this package? Is it safe to ignore this thing? Thanks.
