Bug#197431: Make expat optional in package
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.27.0-1
Severity: Wishlist
When doing XSL Transformations with PHP and Sablotron (packages), Apache
(package) will segfault. This is due to a conflict in Apache's internal
use of expat, and Sablotron's reliance on expat.
There is a compilation option in Apache (--disable-rule=EXPAT) which will
_not_ link apache to its own private version of expat, and thus not
conflict with Sablotron.
I know I can simply recompile apache myself, but it would be handy for
people who'd like to use XML & PHP & Apache on Debian not to have to do
this... or more importantly, not to have to spend a bunch of time googling
about trying to find out why Apache segfaults there. =)
