I often use it with -Ix switch but failed to see that it can also check dependencies. Now I know it is required by php5-extensions-1.1. Do you think I should be relatively safe by commenting it out in the extensions file, restarting apache and seeing what is going on? I still do not know which application really needs posix. But many thanks Robert! Zbigniew Szalbot
