Package: libapache2-mod-auth-pgsql
Version: 2.0.2b1-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I have just installed the latest version of mod-auth-pgsql because of
the recent security issue.  After installing it, as far as I can see
Apache has not been restarted.  So I think that it is still running with
the old insecure module loaded, and will continue to do so until I
restart it.

Shouldn't this module restart Apache from its post-installation script?

(I really don't know much about how .deb packages work and wouldn't
normally post a bug report with so little knowledge, but I thought I
ought to in this case because of the clear security issue.  Apache
servers can often run for many months without needing to be restarted,
and I think this means that they would remain vulnerable.)

--Phil.
