phpldapadmin did not pull in apache2-mod-php5 package

[J. Greene]

When installing phpldapadmin,

  apt-get install phpldapadmin

It complained during dpkg --configure that it was unable to find the /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so:

dpkg --configure phpldapadmin
Setting up phpldapadmin (1.2.2-5ubuntu1) ...
 * Restarting web server apache2 [fail]
 * The apache2 configtest failed.
Output of config test was:
