Package: dwww Version: 1.10.15 Severity: important
The 'dwww' package (and the 'info2www' package as well, please advise if I should file a seperate bug report,) has a dependency on httpd-cgi. However not all of the httpd packages provide support for the http://host/cgi-bin/binary/some/virtual/directory style URLs needed by dwww even tho they advertise that they provide httpd-cgi support. I have tested mini-httpd & lighthttpd and they fail to work. Apache2 & Boa do work. There may be ways to configure the others but I'm not a WWW expert, just someone who wants a unified doc reader on a laptop (which is why I'm not using Apache2.) If it satisfies the depends, it should work out of the box or have clear documentation on how to get it working. Let me know if I need to submit bugs against these other packages as well. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26.3-ougun-8a (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dwww depends on: ii boa [httpd-cgi] 0.94.14rc21-3 Lightweight and high performance w ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii doc-base 0.8.16 utilities to manage online documen ii file 4.26-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfile-ncopy-perl 0.34-1 file copying like cp for perl ii libmime-types-perl 1.24-1 Perl extension for determining MIM ii man-db 2.5.2-3 on-line manual pager ii mime-support 3.44-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii perl 5.10.0-14 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages dwww recommends: ii apt 0.7.14+b1 Advanced front-end for dpkg pn dlocate <none> (no description available) ii info2www 1.2.2.9-24 Read info files with a WWW browser Versions of packages dwww suggests: ii doc-debian 4.0.1 Debian Project documentation and o pn dpkg-www <none> (no description available) ii epiphany-gecko [www-browser] 2.22.3-3 Intuitive GNOME web browser - Geck ii galeon [www-browser] 2.0.6-2 GNOME web browser for advanced use ii iceape-browser [www-browser] 1.1.11-1 Iceape Navigator (Internet browser ii iceweasel [www-browser] 3.0.1-1 lightweight web browser based on M ii swish++ 6.1.5-1 Simple Document Indexing System fo ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.2-2+b1 WWW browsable pager with excellent -- debconf information: dwww/cgiuser: www-data dwww/nosuchuser: dwww/cgidir: /usr/lib/cgi-bin dwww/docrootdir: /var/www dwww/serverport: 80 dwww/servername: localhost dwww/index_docs: true dwww/badport: dwww/nosuchdir: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
