Well, here's the thing, there's not a good answer, afaict. Debian (and 16.10) have changed the order around. Maybe that would be the principle of least surprise. But then we'll immediately get complaints from the nginx crowd that installing 'php' pulls in apache2 by default (simple workaround there, just like here, is to specify 'php php-fpm' during installation and use nginx with FPM). I'm not sure how many applications the change of default affects. I was trying to focus on getting known bugfixes through, and changing the packaging in a release version of Ubuntu was riskier than I could justify immediately. In particular, I need to think about what might break (I don't think anything) for those people already running 16.04. Beause what might happen if we change the order is that upgraders and fresh installers will have different configurations and that will result in its own set of bugs. -Nish -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577916 Title: Missing dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ganglia-web/+bug/1577916/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
