What wording would you suggest?
Note the message did not say a package called "apr-util" was missing;
it said "The Apache Portable Runtime Utility (APRUTIL) library cannot
be found", implying the entire Apache Portable Runtime Utility,
including all its component parts, regardless of by what means you
need to install it on your OS.
I would say it's up to you to know the peculiarities and naming
conventions of your package manager (i.e. that you need both binaries
(in apr-util) and headers (in apr-util-devel)). Not all package
managers have that naming convention (e.g. MacPorts does not; it puts
everything into one package (apr-util)).
