Package: apache2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Apache 2 crashes when loading any module which is linked to the system PCRE library (because Apache is statically linked to an ancient version of PCRE internally).
There is a working patch which allows Apache to be linked against the system PCRE: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27550#c13 (When configuring, you need to add --with-external-pcre). The Apache developers have been totally unresponsive on this, even though the patch works and is well-tested. It would be nice to be able to use Apache 2 + PCRE-linked modules under Debian at the very least.
