Missing LDAP dependency

[Kyle Gordon]

Binary package hint: irm

Installing IRM, PHP, etc, and then editing ldap.ini to include an ldap backend results in a blank page when trying to log in.

Editing /usr/share/irm/www/includes/irm.inc to turn on the DEV debugging ($DEV = true;), reveals the following error when trying to log in.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ldap_connect() in /usr/share/irm/www/include/User.php on line 182

Installing the php4-ldap package and restarting apache2 resolves this issue.

irm suggests already php4-ldap.
As php4-ldap isn't needed in all cases, making it a strict dependency is IMHO unnecessary.

[Kyle Gordon (kylegordon)]

Don't make it fail silently when php4-ldap isn't installed then.

irm does nos requires LDAP module to be functionnal. It is only necessary when you use LDAP backend.

The Suggests field is used for all the web applications in similar situations. See egroupware (egroupware-core binary) for example.
