I think this happens because mediawiki1.7 depends on php5, which in turn depends on some apache packages. I am not sure if it is possible to work around this without breaking some features of mediawiki1.7. However, you might want to check if your aptitude is configured to install recommended packages automatically. This could mean that it installs more apache packages than are absolutely necessary. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
