Package: libapache2-mod-python Version: 3.5.0.7-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
I reproduced an autopkgtest failure where the smoke test updates apache2.conf and then immediately curls the test URLs. With service apache2 reload, Apache can still serve hello.py as a static file instead of using the updated mod_python handler configuration. Restarting apache2 after updating the config fixes the issue, and the smoke autopkgtest passes locally with this change. I attached a patch changing the test from service apache2 reload to service apache2 restart.
