Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.3-4+etch1
Severity: normal

I believe this can be solved by changing /etc/apache2/apache2.conf to read:

    <Directory "/usr/share/apache2/icons">
		        Options Indexes MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

So, basically adding SymLinksIfOwnerMatch to /usr/share/apache2/icons. I am
not sure why this works, or why this is needed, but it solves the issue.

It is probably a side effect of how Location and Directory contexts 
are merged. To cite the documentation: "Although rewrite rules are 
syntactically permitted in <Location> sections, this should never be 
necessary and is unsupported."

Thanks for posting the solution. Since this is not a bug I am closing 
the report.

Cheers,
Stefan
