Ah - I see! Since this is a fresh minimal install, there are very few packages
installed right now, so chances are, that the dependency chain is exactly,
as you describe. I was fooled by apt-get that put apache first on the list of
packages to install, so I'll have to work out manually, which is the real
chain of dependencies and at which point apache gets required.

This is a very good advice - I'll try that as soon as I come home from work tonight.
It's my first attempt with nginx, so I'll have to invest some time here for figuring out
how this part of the equation will work.

ok - I wasn't aware of the "recommends" path. I'll dig into that as well.
Thank you very much for the detailed tips - I will report my experience with that.
Maybe there is then some sort of information that you might like to include
on davical's web page.
Thanks again,
Michael.
