Package: libapache2-request-perl
Version: 2.04-dev-1.bone1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

Upload support is seriously broken. The parser does not scan all input.
Only on uploaded file can be retrieved making perl module Apache::Upload
basicly useless.
The problem is fixed upstream in 2.05-dev, but because of the mod_perl2
API changes this might be difficult to install.
On the other hand, the problem is easy to fix by patching 2.04-dev in
Sarge. Here's the patch from upstream SVN:

It seems the return values (0/1) has just been mixed up in
src/apreq_params.c

Applying this small patch makes Apache::Upload usable again.
