In fact I've observed this problem for long, maybe since 6.10 (not sure) ** Description changed:
Binary package hint: update-manager - I do not have "apache" installed. But I do have php, python, mysql and lighttpd. I removed all package with name containing "apache", everything works fine here, as I'm having a local web server with php or python scripts. - Very often, yet uncertain of the regularity, I am suggested by "update-manager" to install "apache" related packages. I used to follow the suggestion and then remove all packages just installed. But surely similar suggestion will be there later. This is annoying. - I suppose there is some kindda unnecessary dependencies applied between Php and apache. + I do not have "apache" installed. But I do have php, python, mysql and lighttpd.
