Bug#719266: apache2_invoke enconf ignores dependencies disabled by admin



Hi Stefan

I think there is some confusion:

I kinda agree. But that was not my not point:

When a module is explicitly disabled by site administrator, then a
package tries to enable it back, he's getting an error like:
# apache2_invoke enmod proxy
apache2_invoke proxy: no action - module was disabled by maintainer

But when a package tries to enable a module that depends on the one explicitly
disabled, both are enabled with no error.

My report was about that inconsistency.

Should that report be split to clarify the "explicitly disabled" part?
Or do you have an idea about what "explicitly disabled" means, so that the
so called inconsistency is irrelevent?
