Package: boa Version: 0.94.14rc21-2 Severity: important After I install this package, it informs me that port 80 is already used by someone else. (I have Apache installed.) Then I choose to select an alternative port. I enter "81". Then the installation continues. Then it tells me *again* that port 80 is already in use. It does not ask again about what to do about that. At the end, boa is actually configured in its configuration file for port 80 and starting the server fails.
