Bug#345922: options error in Apache config file

[Ian Bruce <ian_bruce@fastmail.fm>]

Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.55-3

The file "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default" contains this item (in
the "/usr/lib/cgi-bin" section):

    Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

This is explicitly disallowed by the Apache documentation.

>From "http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options"; :

    Warning

    Mixing Options with a + or - with those without is not valid syntax,
    and is likely to cause unexpected results.

This entry does indeed result in various problems, but you will not
discover that it is the cause of those problems without carefully
reading the documentation. It needs to be fixed. Prefixing a "+" to the
"ExecCGI" option would resolve the issue.
