Bug#229505: apache-ssl: It still fails installing if blank is given

[Patricio Rojo <pato@astro.cornell.edu>]

Package: apache-ssl
Version: 1.3.29.0.1-5
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #229505

Hi,

   I'm installing apache-ssl for the first time, I'm running unstable.
   I got the same problem reported by Michael, even though it was
supposed to be already fixed on 'sid'... If I left my email blank I
got...

Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
.........++++++
............++++++
writing new private key to '/etc/apache-ssl/apache.pem'
-----
problems making Certificate Request
4930:error:0D07A098:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_mbstring_copy:string too short:a_mbstr.c:147:minsize=1
dpkg: error processing apache-ssl (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 apache-ssl
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

   And then I had to purge the failed installation, start over and
filling in everything I have no further problems...

  Thanks!...

                         Pato
