Bug#498490: phpicalendar auto installs Apache + Apache2 config snippets, which it should not do

phpicalendar automatically installs Apache + Apache2 config snippets even when 
those packages are not installed and especially 
even though the admin might not want every virtual host on their system to have 
a /phpicalendar

I marked this as a 'critical' bug, as one will just have to guess that it 
installs itself as /phpicalendar in the main Apache 
config, and thus avaialable to every vhost. This could thus clash with other 
programs you might already have their, which is 
especially annoying in a hosting environment.

It should per-default NOT install these links, solutions could be asking the 
user for which Webservers they want the snippet 
(this is done by some other modules), or just having people read the README. It 
is a simple alias link anyway, and people 
who want to enable this will be reading the README or other such file anyway.

thanks

Hi,

The problem is not really the symlink, as the web apps policy states that 
packages *should* do that. The real problem is that reinstallation of the 
package should not put the symlinks back in place if they were removed by the 
administrator.

Cheers,
