[Bug 1076489] Re: Cannot be uninstalled without installing Apache2

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

You are correct that this is a strange requirement, but I suspect that
if this is happening to you then this is more likely due to a dependency
requirement caused by some other package, rather than an issue with
removing php5-cgi itself.

I've just tried purging php5-cgi on a test system, and it did not
require me to install apache2.

I suspect that this is not a bug in Ubuntu, but instead being caused on
your system by some other package whose dependencies can be fulfilled by
installing apache2. In this case, you may find the
Debug::pkgProblemResolver and/or Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall debug
options to apt helpful, and you may be able to get help quicker by
following the community support options at
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Marking Incomplete as I cannot reproduce this issue. If you can provide
exact steps to reproduce the problem and the exact output that you are
getting (including the output of the debug options above), then please
comment this and set the status back to New.

** Changed in: php5 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
