Folks

Running Ubuntu 10.04LTS, everything going well and fast now I am reverse 
proxying with nginx.

Last night there was an automatic update to apache2:

===================================================
An update to apache2 from 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.9 to 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.10 is needed.
This update has been successfully installed.

An update to apache2-mpm-prefork from 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.9 to 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.10 
is needed.
This update has been successfully installed.

An update to apache2-utils from 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.9 to 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.10 is 
needed.
This update has been successfully installed.

An update to linux-libc-dev from 2.6.32-44.98 to 2.6.32-45.99 is needed.
This update has been successfully installed.
===================================================

This morning all sites were broken.  This was traced to php5 being removed!!!!

I have seen a comment about this on ubuntuforums 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12345109#post12345109
but there was no reply (only my question today).

Has anyone seen this?

Clearly this is not a WordPress issue but such active folk may have seen it or 
may have found the reason!
