This makes it a nightmare for the end-user sysadmin and I would imagine for the CSW maintainers who want to keep things current. For this reason, the servers on which RT ran eventually NEVER got CSW package updates because the module upgrades would break RT on a regular basis if given a chance.

This is exactly what I've heard as well. I think my "fix" for RT would
do no harm to RT (which probably doesn't work anyway) and it's one
less dep to Apache 1.

Long term we should provide a complete collection of deps for RT or
maybe a VM image? We need a new RT maintainer though.
