It seems you have missed the way ocs inventory works:
-server is the *Communication Server* only
-reports is the web interface

Basically, both are required. They are separate packages because they
can be installed on different hosts.

install.php is part of ocsinventory-reports

# apt-cache show ocsinventory-server | grep reports
Recommends: ocsinventory-reports

.. which you have willingly not installed. As said above, it is not a
strict dependency because it is not required to be on the same host.

I have therefore downgraded the bug report severity to normal. I'll wait
for your confirmation that installing all packages make ocs works, and
close the bug.

Cheers,
