Package: dpkg-www
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I installed dpkg-www on a raspberry pi running raspian (based on Debian 10.1).
For the web server I chose lighttpd and enabled the cgi module.
When accessing the dpkg-www cgi via a web browser, anything clickable did not
work.
It would just print the main page. Looking a bit further and setting the debug
option
I noticed that the script did not receive the query string.
Looking at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/dpkg it tries to load a perl module that is not in
the dependancies.
1261: perl -e "use CGI; my \$q = new CGI(\$_); print scalar
\$q->param('$key')" "$1"
I installed libcgi-pm-perl to satisfy the dependancy and then the CGI worked as
it should.
The system information below is not the same system where I encountered the
problem.
I doubt that it makes much difference.
