Thanks for this suggestion, we have already thought about the issue. Another
bug report has been filed requiring php5 support (#393832), so I am merging
both bug reports.
I see a problem with the above dependencies. Imagine the following
combination of packages in a given system:
apache2 installed
apache, apache-ssl, and apache-perl NOT installed
libapache2-mod-php4 installed
libapache2-mod-php5 NOT installed
php4-mysql, php4-pgsql, and php5-pgsql NOT installed
php5-mysql installed
The above satisfy the dependencies as you wrote them. The question is:
would php5-mysql work well with libapache2-mod-php4?
At any rate, the problem comes from the orthogonality of the three
"dimensions":
* PHP 4 vs. 5
* mysql vs. pgsql
* apache 1 vs. 2
The problem exists already in the the current version of the package.
Indeed, the following combination satisfy the dependencies:
apache2 installed
other apaches NOT installed
libapache-mod-php4 installed
libapache2-mod-php4 NOT installed
However, the webcalendar package will not work under these conditions.
I have no idea how to fix this problem. Suggestions are welcome.
