Bug#267693: apache2-common: When using dash as /bin/sh postinst generates invalid httpd.conf

[Tobias Gruetzmacher <tobias@portfolio16.de>]

Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.50-10
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Well, when using dash as /bin/sh the following linein postinst:

echo -e "#This is here for backwards compatability reasons only" > /etc/apache2/httpd.conf;

creates a httpd.conf which includes the line

-e #This is here for backwards compatability reasons only

which makes Apache2 fail to start.

Fix: Remove the -e, I see no reason for it being there...
