Hello,
depending on libapache-mod-perl is not enough for my new package slash to be
runable on a Debian box, sinde libapache-mod-perl does not
reconfigure/activate the mod_perl Module in postinst.
Am I allowed to check for the comemnted mod_perl line in apache's config and
offer the option to activate it in my postist script (or call the
apacheconfig script, but i am not sure if that will help), or should i file
a wishlist bug agaianst libapache-mod-perl, requiring it to automatically
add it to the list of loaded modules (like some others, like php are doing).
I'd rather you file bugs on the other packages which call apacheconfig
interactively in postinst - I'm thinking of adding a 'just add this
module, commented out, changing nothing else' option to apacheconfig.
Either that or giving in and applying debconf to such a silly little
problem.
I really strongly disapprove of running apacheconfig; it can have
startling changes on the behavior of an already configured server.
See http://bugs.debian.org/79460 for more of my thoughts on this
subject.
