Care to explain? I understand why installing `php5-fpm` before `php5` does the trick. But what `php5-cli` has to do with it? – x-yuri Jun 12 '17 at 20:48

`php5-cli` does not have apache as a dependency. – EEAA Jun 12 '17 at 20:50

Install php5 after php5-fpm if you plan to use nginx for example, because php5 needs one of either libapache2-mod-php5, libapache2-mod-php5filter, php5-cgi, or php5-fpm. Apt just picks the first package that satisfies the dependency.

$ sudo apt-get install php5-fpm php5
