Bug#987156: mod_ssl depends on mod_setenvif while it does not
Package: apache2
Version: 2.4.46-4
When enabling mod_ssl via "a2enmod ssl" while mod_setenvif is disabled,
it becomes apparent that mod_ssl depends on mod_setenvif. I checked the
configuration file /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf, but it actually
does not use any mod_setenvif directive. I disabled mod_setenvif
effectively by emptying setenvif.load and setenvif.conf manually on two
servers, and none shows any issues for months of 24/7 use.
Hence I believe that this module dependency might come from some
previous use of setenvif directives in the default mod_ssl config, which
have been removed meanwhile, rendering this dependency as obsolete.
I'm not sure how those dependencies are defined and whether hence it is
an upstream issue or a distro package issue. In case I'll report it
upstream as well.
Best regards,
Micha
