Emerge lighttpd-1.4.4-r1 with php USE flag set wants to install apache as a dependency, WTF ? Could this be because the ebuild requests virtual/httpd-php as a runtime dependency ? Isn't virtual/httpd-php just supposed to be provided by the lighttpd ebuild or am I completely wrong ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Reassigning to lighttpd maintainer.
According to bug #102863, I was supposed to dep on it; grepping the tree shows this is correct. the only packages to PROVIDE it are dev-php/mod_php, dev-php/php-cgi, and dev-lang/php. You're going to have to figure out what else is causing apache to be installed. It's not lighttpd itself though.
