Public bug reported:
It looks as though unattended upgrades' dependency resolution is a
little broken when there are multiple alternatives and when the
dependency is currently satisfied by a package other than the first
alternative.
In this case, package php5 was upgraded. php5 depends:
$ dpkg -s php5|grep Depends
Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7) |
libapache2-mod-php5filter (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7) | php5-cgi (>=
5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7) | php5-fpm (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7), php5-common (>=
5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7)
I use php5-fpm, and specifically do not want libapache2-mod-php5
installed (not least because it breaks my FPM config). After manually
purging libapache2-mod-php5:
$ dpkg -l $(dpkg -s php5|grep Depends|perl -npe 's/Depends://; s/[,|]/\n/g'|cut
-f 2 -d\ )|grep ^[a-z]
un libapache2-mod-php5 <none>
<none> (no description available)
un libapache2-mod-php5filter <none>
<none> (no description available)
un php5-cgi <none>
<none> (no description available)
ii php5-common 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7
amd64 Common files for packages built from the php5 source
ii php5-fpm 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7
amd64 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (FPM-CGI
binary)
note that:
• php5-fpm is installed and therefore that dependency of php5 was already
satisfied
• php5-cgi and libapache2-mod-php5filter are alternative dependencies along
with libapache2-mod-php5, yet neither got installed in the way that
libapache2-mod-php5 did.
For completeness' sake, here's an excerpt of the unattended upgrade log (full
log attached) showing that it was this morning's upgrade run that installed
libapache2-mod-php5:
