In fact, it's not even a bug since you installed a leaf package directly which is not meant to be used standalone. > I had the following problem when upgrading Ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10, > and since Debian has more or less the same packages (stable & sid), I > think it can be affected too. Yet this is Debian, and not Ubuntu. I do not doubt your issue is in Debian, too but still it would be helpful if you verified your problem in Debian when reporting to a Debian bug tracker. > Installing tntnet as Recommends of mailgraph > Installing libcxxtools9 as Depends of tntnet > Installing libtntnet11 as Depends of tntnet > Installing tntnet-runtime as Recommends of libtntnet11 > > The mailgraph Recommends has in particular: httpd | apache2. which is perfectly acceptable, since that's precisely what the recommends line tells.

You can. But it's not supported. That use case is meant for people embedding Apache as embedded server into their binaries, such as gnome-user-share.
