Hi,

Maybe having something installed on /usr/bin (or something similar)
should be a more effective trigger than a "bin" in composer.json to add
a dependency on php5-cli:
- sometimes, upstream forget to add it (e.g., php-parser);
- we may consider to not ship the script in a binary package (and the
  dependency on php5-cli would thus not be warranted).

As #757537, it’s not on top on my TODO list either, and I’ll be happy to
provide a patch once I’ve time to dive into the new code.

Regards

David

Hi David,

Thanks for your reports.

Do you have other examples? If not, couldn't this be reported to
php-parser upsteam?

I don't understand.

If the script is removed from package.xml, then the php5-cli dep ill
be updated accordingly.

Good!

Regards
