** Description changed:
- I just upgraded apache2:amd64 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.15 --> 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.17
- and now there is a file
+ [Impact]
+ Due to a recent SRU fix, a stray config file template gets installed on
Xenial systems when apache2 is installed. This causes no harm in practice but
may cause some confusion.
- /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.in
+ [Test Case]
+ * Install apache2
+ * Look for /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.in
+
+ [Where Problems Could Occur]
+ The fix changes what gets installed to /etc/apache2, so issues to watch for
would relate to unexpected changes in the contents of this directory tree.
+
+ [Original

apache2.conf.in is part of the .deb file, see
- https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/amd64/apache2/filelist
+ https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/amd64/apache2/filelist
apache2.conf.in is not mentioned in any config file in /etc/apache2,
not in the init.d script or systemd service file nor in the changelog.
What's the purpose of that file?
From the diff above it doesn't even look like a valid apache2 config file
because of the "___MUTEX___" prefix.
Is this some kind of leftover from a search/replace operation?
