Package: php4
Severity: normal

When I do apt-get dist-upgrade, it tells me:
 The following NEW packages will be installed:
   caudium caudium-modules caudium-php4 libgmp3 libtiff4 libttf2 libzzip-0-12 
pike7.2 pike7.2-crypto pike7.2-gz pike7.2-image
 The following packages will be upgraded:
   grub libapache-mod-php4 php4-common php4-gd

Now, apt-get upgrade tells me this:
 The following packages have been kept back:
   libapache-mod-php4 php4-common php4-gd
 The following packages will be upgraded:
   grub

And last, apt-get dselect-upgrade yields: (which is the behaviour I'd expect 
from dist-upgrade, to be honest)
 The following NEW packages will be installed:
   libzzip-0-12
 The following packages will be upgraded:
   grub libapache-mod-php4 php4-common php4-gd

Now, I've got 4.3.10-2 of libapache-mod-php4 installed, and apt-cache show php4 
gives:
 Depends: libapache-mod-php4 (>= 4:4.3.10-8) | libapache2-mod-php4 (>= 
4:4.3.10-8) | caudium-php4 (>= 4:4.3.10-8), php4-common (>= 4:4.3.10-8)
So, I can understand it wanting to upgrade libapache-mod-php4. But why does 
apt-get dist-upgrade want to pull in TWO of the ORed dependencies?
(cadium-php4 and libapache-mod-php4). Since it does that, it also tries to pull 
in whatever cadium-php4 depends on, so I suddenly get a full setup
of cadium on my system, when all I want is apache 1.3.33 with php4! :-)

I assume this is a bug, not certain wether the problem is in the php4-package 
or in apt-get itself. Asked around on the debian irc channel, and
they seemed to believe it was a bug.
