The security update to apache changed my httpd.conf and srm.conf in a
way that meant my system's website disappeared.
I did get offered `Save these changes to the configuration files? [Y/n]'
and said yes, but:
You accepted a new configuration without checking it. It is exactly the
same as many other tools to handle configurations.
* Security updates should be safe. In particular, security updates
should be doable with less care, checking, presence of mind,
etc. etc. than an elective upgrade.
Negative. Security updated fix a bit of the code. The rest of the package
stays the same. Please check:
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-bug-security
for more information.
* The default should not be to override a user-changed configuration.
You asked for it once you told the script Yes. You have been prompeted
and warned.
* The default should not be to disable an existing website by
changing the DocumentRoot to the Debian default.
Same as above.
* The question was preceded by a large amount of largely irrelevant
messages.
This is not true in sarge/sid anymore.
In any case there is nothing left as a bug in here.
