Package: squirrelmail
Version: 2:1.4.4-6sarge1

Current dependencies are

apache2 | httpd, libapache2-mod-php4 | php4 | php4-cgi, perl,
squirrelmail-locales

Using Debian Sarge with Security updates, this is incorrect at least in
two ways:

1. If it depends on 'httpd' or 'apache2', then it should also be

   apache2 | apache | httpd

2. Should depend on

   libapache2-mod-php4 | libapache-mod-php4 | php4 | php4-cgi

I noticed the problem when attempted installation of squirrelmail on a
Debian Sarge system that had apache and libapache-mod-php4, and both
apt-get and aptitude attempted installing apache2, libapache2-mod-php4
and some more stuff.

I worked around it installing php4, given that apache provides 'httpd'
so the first dependency was satisfied.

I also think it should only recommend squirrelmail-locales, not depend
on it.

If you can't apt-get it, it isn't useful or doesn't exist.
