This was broken by libapache2-mod-perl2_2.0.9~rc1-1, which integrated the upstream fix for https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=87620 (Apache-Test: add -D APACHE24 if running under httpd 2.4). Unfortunately the upstream fix ended up using APACHE2_4 instead of APACHE24 which we had adopted from an earlier version of the fix, so the Apache-Test in jessie is now using a different definition from the rest of the world. The current libapache2-authcookie-perl package is relying on the jessie behaviour (APACHE24). While the fix for libapache2-authcookie-perl is a trivial sed -i s/APACHE24/APACHE2_4/ debian/patches/authcookie-httpd-24.patch I suppose it at least needs an additional versioned build-dependency on libapache2-mod-perl2 (>= 2.0.9~rc1-1). I wonder if it would be worthwhile to update libapache2-mod-perl2 in stable to define both APACHE24 and APACHE2_4, so that people could start using the latter now rather than have their configs broken by the next release. I also wonder how much this really matters, given Apache-AuthCookie is apparently the only one that needs this. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
