That does help. The package description doesn't mention this package is meant for the most common assumed scenario, nor what that most-common scenario would be -- good thing I wasn't installing packages unattended. Took me a few guesses to figure out what I could install so I'd have php for nginx without installing something that would wrestle with nginx for control of port 80.
Demote to minor, and maybe a change request: update documentation to inform consumers what assumptions were made about what all users would need when they ask for just "php" ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1834963 Title: apache dependency To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.2/+bug/1834963/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
