Package: libapache-mod-speedycgi
Version: 2.22-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Hi,
removing libapache-mod-speedycgi leaves /etc/apache/httpd.conf
zero-sized. This happens because the postrm script tries to comment
out references to the module like this:
cat /etc/apache$1/httpd.conf |\
sed 's/^(LoadModule.*mod_speedycgi\.so)/#\1/' > $tmpfile || true
mv -f $tmpfile /etc/apache$1/httpd.conf
but the correct sed grouping markers are '\(' and '\)' instead of '(' and ')'.
Then sed bails out:
sed: -e expression #1, char 39: invalid reference \1 on `s' command's RHS
and $tmpfile ends up empty.
(Furthermore, at least on my system the LoadModule line is in
/etc/apache/modules.conf, not httpd.conf, so the commenting out
wouldn't apparently work anyway.)
Transcript follows:
# ls -l /etc/apache/httpd.conf

# dpkg -r libapache-mod-speedycgi

Removing libapache-mod-speedycgi ...
sed: -e expression #1, char 39: invalid reference \1 on `s' command's RHS
