Package: dwww
Version: 1.9.26
Severity: normal
'dwww' needs a web server that does CGI:
% dlocate -s dwww | grep Depends | sed 's/,.*//' # chop off text after the
comma
Depends: apache | httpd-cgi
While the README recommends 'boa':
% grep -nC 1 boa /usr/share/doc/dwww/README
10-dwww requires running a web server with CGI support (i.e. apache,
11:boa, roxen, wn, etc., but NOT dhttpd or fnord.)
12-Sorry.
...but 'boa' doesn't provide 'httpd-cgi':
% dlocate -s boa | grep Provide
Provides: httpd
# search list of packages that provide 'httpd-cgi'
% wget -q -O - http://packages.debian.org/unstable/virtual/httpd-cgi | grep
boa ; echo $?
1 # not found
The cause of these contradictions seems to be that one or more of
these is not currently accurate:
1) '/usr/share/doc/dwww/README'
2) the 'httpd-cgi' package list
3) the 'Provides:' field of 'boa'
4) the 'Depends:' field of 'dwww'
...but I dunno which. All I know for sure is that a while back an
upgrade of 'dwww' installed 'apache', when before it was happy with
'boa'. So today I was trying to decide if, (or why), my system (on PPP
dialup) needs two web servers installed -- and noticed the
contradiction described above.
Hope this helps...
