 Description   

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Case 1: i want only frontend files, why web package requires php? For example CentOS 7 with SCL for PHP 7.3 used, my goal is to install nginx + php-fpm manually and skip-broken option is a bad solution: 
    yum install zabbix-web
repoquery --requires --resolve  zabbix-web

Since RHEL users able to use PHP7 from SCL and NGINGX and NGINX Unit files provided officially this is incorrect behaviour of a package dependencies.

Please review and provide frontend files without any dependencies for apache/nginx/php.

The same goes for zabbix-apache-conf:

Installing:
 zabbix-apache-conf                                 noarch                            5.0.0-1.el8                                                          zabbix

Why does the nginx-filesystem is still being included?

Comment by Jurijs Klopovskis [ 2021 Jun 02 ]

Fixed as of 5.0.12

Case 1: i want only frontend files...

Package zabbix-web package has no more dependencies on php or web server.

[root@centos7 ~]# rpm -qR zabbix-web
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives
config(zabbix-web) = 5.0.12-1.el7

rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1
[root@centos7 ~]#

Case 2: i want to install nginx configuration files without PHP5.4 version

Zabbix web server conf packages do pull php dependencies via zabbix-web-deps (php72) or zabbix-web-deps-scl-php73 package.

rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
zabbix-web-database-scl = 5.0.12-1.el7
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1

There is no dependency on php 5.4 in zabbix 5.0 and zabbix 4.4 is dead.

At any rate it is pretty easy to extract web-server configuration from our packages manually or create your own.
