Bug#458857: apache2: Drop unnecessary dependencies

Package: apache2
Version: 2.2.6-3
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu hardy ubuntu-patch

Hi!

The apache binaries currently depend on a lot of unnecessary packages and libraries, for example libdb4.4.

Please consider building with -Wl,--as-needed to drop these (tested patch attached). This will ease library transitions in the future.

apache2.2-common before:

   Depends: apache2-utils, libapr1, libaprutil1, libc6 (>= 2.7-1), libdb4.4, libexpat1 (>= 1.95.8), libldap2 (>= 2.1.17-1), libmagic1, libpcre3 (>= 6.0), libpq5, libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.4.2), libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8f-1), libuuid1, lsb-base, mime-support, net-tools, procps, zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1)

... and after:

   Depends: apache2-utils, libapr1, libaprutil1, libc6 (>= 2.7-1), libmagic1, libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8f-1), lsb-base, mime-support, net-tools, procps, zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1)
