Thanks. It is perfectly normal. It is not really a dependency problem since another package is immediately substituted to meet the dependency. The reason it happens is that php is not threadsafe (why, oh why?). Since the worker MPM uses threads, it is not compatible with php, and you must use prefork instead. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
