As well as standard woody-based servers, there are still numerous packages out there running on etch but which require php4 and will not run on php5. So that means axyl is still being installed/upgraded on systems with apache 1.3 and php4 and I will continue to allow for this, and retain those dependencies for now since it does no harm. Legacy code does indeed have a long tail. > A dependency on adduser is reasonable, but specifying ">= 3.58" is > fairly pointless since that version predates the release of Sarge > (i.e. oldstable).

So therefore: Depends: debconf | debconf-2.0, php4 | php5, php4-cli| php5-cli, apache (>= 1.3) | apache2, adduser Cheers, Paul. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIaULQtfkpAgkMOyMRAgLZAJ4oM2uvjO9W2FpJB2Z+3ehghWxgFwCgwKTX MN0/jg95ONYpOluvpI7NQeM= =LlDb -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Thanks Justin - you are right, time they were updated!

Bug#488629: axyl: legacy dependencies
Package: axyl Version: 2.6.0 Severity: minor Tags: patch The dependencies for axyl are: # Depends: debconf | debconf-2.0, debianutils (>= 1.6), bash (>= 2.0), php4 | php5, php4-cli | php5-cli, apache (>= 1.3) | apache-perl (>= 1.3) | apache-ssl (>= 1.3) | apache2, adduser (>= 3.58) Quite a lot of this is useless. The "debconf | debconf-2.0" part still makes sense, since the transition to cdebconf is a way off yet. Bash version 2.0+ has been in Debian's Essential list since 1997; the only way this dependency could have any effect is on a mixed Bo/Lenny system. Likewise for debianutils 1.6, except that in this case I think it's Hamm rather than Bo. The only Apache present in Lenny/Sid is apache2; likewise, PHP4 has been removed from Sid, so the switch from "php4" to "php4 | php5" (see #424782) can now be followed by a switch to plain "php5". A dependency on adduser is reasonable, but specifying ">= 3.58" is fairly pointless since that version predates the release of Sarge (i.e. oldstable). Mixed Woody/Lenny systems are conceivable, but not officially supported. So it boils down to: Depends: debconf | debconf-2.0, php5, php5-cli, apache2, adduser -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25.custom Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- JBR Ankh kak!
