Bug#787923: RM: apache2 -- NBS; ROM; Remove obsolete transitional packages



Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

cruft-report has:
* source package apache2 version 2.4.12-2 no longer builds
  binary package(s): apache2-mpm-event apache2-mpm-itk apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-mpm-worker apache2-suexec apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-macro libapache2-mod-proxy-html
  on amd64,arm64,armel,armhf,hurd-i386,i386,kfreebsd-amd64,kfreebsd-i386,mips,mipsel,powerpc,ppc64el,s390x,sparc
  - suggested command:
    dak rm -m "[auto-cruft] NBS (no longer built by apache2)" -s unstable -a amd64,arm64,armel,armhf,hurd-i386,i386,kfreebsd-amd64,kfreebsd-i386,mips,mipsel,powerpc,ppc64el,s390x,sparc -p -R -b apache2-mpm-event apache2-mpm-itk apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-mpm-worker apache2-suexec apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-macro libapache2-mod-proxy-html
  - broken Depends:
    ikiwiki-hosting: ikiwiki-hosting-web
    mod-auth-mysql: libapache2-mod-auth-mysql [amd64 armel armhf hurd-i386 i386 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc s390x sparc]


The report about ikiwiki-hosting: ikiwiki-hosting-web is a false positive because the depended-on package (apache2-suexec) is now virtual.

mod-auth-mysql isn't part of stable, hasn't seen a maintainer upload for 5 years, has been broken for 2 years, and has a replacement included in apache2. Therefore we will request its removal soon, but I wouldn't delay the cruft-removal for that.
