Or, perhaps more future-proof, have php5-cgi "Depend" on a new virtual package called http-server or something, and make apache/nginx/lighttpd/... "Provide" http-server. However, I don't know how one would go about making the php5-cgi package install the proper library (like libapache2-mod-php5) for the specific httpd that's actually installed, upon installing php5-cgi itself... except via Suggests/Recommends + the user opting to install the proper one afterwards :) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
