php-pear dependencies install httpd

[Martín Marqués]

I have my laptop with php-cli and php-pear installed, and I was to do
an upgrade and found that yum wanted to install httpd package to my
surprise.

Looking in detail, I found that php-pear needed php-devel, which needs
php, which needs httpd.

Any ideas why these dependencies appeared? Basically, whi does
php-pear need php-devel.

php-pear most likely depends on php-devel as a courtesy, based on the fact that PECL
requires php-devel in order to build some/most/all (?) of its modules.  Meaning, when
someone says:

# pecl install foo


Foo requires php-devel to build properly, and install the module.  Without php-devel as a
dependency of php-pear, users would be confronted to sometimes obscure pecl install
failures.

PHP maintainers are aware of (working on) this issue
