I have a packageA, which depends on apache2-mpm-prefork. packageA was installed. Now I tried to install apache2-mpm-worker, but the output is:

me@XXX:~$ sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: ... Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. The following packages will be REMOVED: apache2-mpm-prefork packageA The following NEW packages will be installed: apache2-mpm-worker

Why? How to install apache2-mpm-worker without touching packageA? Thanks

In Debian you can have only one apache instance and it should use one of mpm's. Single apache instance can not use multiple mpm's.

You can compile other versions and run them from /opt, but that is not intended. Debian ideology is that if you need multiple instances of some service, you should use multiple servers.

P.S. It is not same for every service, but for most of them.

  • you mean I can not install both at the same time? Commented Dec 8, 2016 at 18:31
  • Yes, using packets from oficial repo you can not install both mpm's.You still can install multiple mpm's on CentOS (and other rmp-based distro, I think), but you can use only one of them. Commented Dec 9, 2016 at 6:25
