Why php52 packages depends on httpd

Asked by Dmitry Khokhlov

Why all this php52* packages depends on the httpd package? I realy don't need Httpd to be installed on my server. But I need PHP. It is because I use Lighttpd as a web server. On my another server I don't use PHP in a web server at all (because the web server is Tomcat), but I need PHP on it to run scripts in CLI.

Looking at this a bit, you should be able to simply install 'php52-cli' or 'php53u-cli' which would pull in php5X-common .... and thats all it needs. Unfortunately there is a 'Requires: %{name}' on php5X-common.... and the base package is what requires httpd. We are making the changes now so that in the next version you can install just php-cli and not have the dep on httpd.
