rpmtsOrdering question

I'm trying to debug a dependency issue here, but apt isn't being overly
helpful or verbose about it which is making it difficult.  I'm seeing
this:

[root at artemis ~]# apt-get install httpd httpd-mod_php php-cli
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  httpd-common httpd-conf httpd-modules lib64php_common5 php-ctype php-ftp php-gettext php-hash php-ini php-pcre php-posix
  php-session php-simplexml php-suhosin php-sysvsem php-sysvshm php-tokenizer
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  httpd httpd-common httpd-conf httpd-mod_php httpd-modules lib64php_common5 php-cli php-ctype php-ftp php-gettext php-hash
  php-ini php-pcre php-posix php-session php-simplexml php-suhosin php-sysvsem php-sysvshm php-tokenizer

If I drop php-cli, I get:

[root at artemis ~]# apt-get install httpd httpd-mod_php

I'm suspecting my problem is in httpd-mod_php, but nothing there is
jumping out at me, and it would be nice to know *which* 2 packages apt
is complaining about.

Is there a way to make it more verbose?  I tried tacking "-s" onto the
end to see if it would give me more info, but it doesn't.
