Thanks for pointing me to this Brian. > Yes, I was not aware about that bug but it comes to say exactly what I > suggested Stan in my last reply (i.e., get "php5-cgi"). Except for the fact that metapackage php5 is listed as a dependency of roundcube-core: ~$ aptitude show roundcube-core Package: roundcube-core ... Depends: ... apache2 | lighttpd | httpd, php5, php5-mcrypt, php5-gd, roundcube-sqlite What's interesting about all of this is that I've never installed apache on this machine, only lighty. Apache2 is too bloated for my needs so I went with lighty years ago. Oh, the irony... > That's one of the reasons I prefer to avoid metapackages, you have to > care what they estimate is more appropiate for you and do not always hit. So if roundcube-core depends on the php5 metapackage Camaleón, how exactly could I avoid installing said metapackage when I installed roundcube so long ago? Should one need to become a master jedi of package management simply because he chooses to use an httpd other than bloated apache2? Moving forward... I removed all of the apache2 junk with '--purge-unused', ran aptitude update and aptitude safe-upgrade, and none of the apache2 junk shows up in the upgrade list, which was the original immediate goal here. I've probably got more cleaning to do. For instance: ~$ dpkg -l|grep -i apache rc apache2.2-common rc libapache2-mod-php5 rc libapr1 rc libaprutil1 What does the 'rc' mean? The others are apparently completely removed now, but these 4 still show up. Is there something preventing their total removal?
