Bug#397886: apache2.2-common: non wanted behaviour during upgrade: charset MUST not be created without user consent
Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.3-3
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
In apache2.2-common somebody choose to set up default charset:
apache2.2-common.postinst:45:
if [ ! -f /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset ]; then
echo "AddDefaultCharset UTF-8" > /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset
fi
This will modify apache configuration during an upgrade. Eventually will
cause all sites served locally to be IMPACTED by wrong charsets [mozilla
selects utf8 if apache told him that its the default - even if the page
designer used the content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15" in headers].
And this is clearly NOT wanted.
Please wipe out the creation of this charset file. Pleaaaaase.
Best regards,
Michel
