I am going to install Apache in DSL. I found if I use apt-get, I have to manually resove dependencies by finding any needed lib-package and other stuff.
Is there any way else, It automatically resolves dependencies and chooses correct packages for Apache?

Apt-get should be doing that. I installed Apache on DSL 0.4.8 and it worked fine. Maybe there is an issue with newer versions of DSL, or the sources you are using?

Yes, you are right. Apt-get can tell you what dependencies you need to meet. Another strange issue is when I was installing Apache on DSL 0.4.10 by apt-get, I was asked to install Perl or Perl5. I added it, but one error appeared and said:

perl depends perl-base 5.6.1-7 but perl-base 5.8.0-15 to be installed.

I am using DSL 0.4.10, but how did you install it successfully. Look forward to your kind answer

"apt-get install apache" worked just fine for me, but remember it was 0.4.8 DSL.

I found cause, the latest DSL uses a newer perl-base than standard package from Debian FTP. I uninstall it and use apt-get to reinstall it, it is OK
