Package: apache Version: 1.3.28-1 Severity: important While trying to puzzle out why debconf showed me a low-priority question upon configuring apache (which doesn't look like apache's fault), I noticed a couple of things in the debconf config script: #!/bin/sh -e ## Source debconf library. . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule if [ -e /usr/apache/suexec ]; then db_set apache/enable-suexec true fi db_input low apache/enable-suexec || true db_go || true First, I think '/usr/apache/suexec' is the wrong path, it should be /usr/lib/apache/suexec; and second, this should actually say: if [ -e /usr/lib/apache/suexec ]; then db_set apache/enable-suexec true else db_set apache/enable-suexec false fi Otherwise, once set to true, debconf will never again check if the admin has removed suexec by hand, resulting in a loss of local configuration settings.
