Maybe this should be done through debian/rules instead of debian/postinst? ** Description changed:
SRU Request for Precise ##### SRU Justification ##### [Impact] [Development Fix] I added the sed command mentioned below into the debian/postinst script so that the path is corrected at installation. Editing the file (debian/conf/proxy_html.load) itself won't be of any use because the path differs by architecture. [Stable Fix] Edit the file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy_html.load to include the right path using the following sed command: - sed -i "s/\/usr\/lib\/libxml2.so.2/\/usr\/lib\/`dpkg-architecture - -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE`\/libxml2.so.2/g" /etc/apache2/mods- - available/proxy_html.load + sed -i "s/\/usr\/lib\/libxml2.so.2/\/usr\/lib\/`uname -i`-linux- + gnu\/libxml2.so.2/g" /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_html.load [Test Case] 1) Install the packages 'apache2', 'libxml2', and 'libapache2-mod-proxy-html' 2) Run the command 'sudo service apache2 start' With the version in Precise, it will error out with: apache2: Syntax error on line 210 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy_html.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 into server: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Action 'start' failed.
