Hi!
Please unblock package apache2. After a bunch of random changes from
experimental got into testing, there were regressions. Forbidding such
changes is pretty much the point of the freeze after all...
One of the regressions (#990580) causes cron mails on every logrotate run.
Thorsten Glaser has, with permission of the maintainer, made a NMU
containing an one-line fix.
[ Reason ]
The change that caused the regression shouldn't have been included into
testing so late in the freeze; let's fix the nastiest bit.
[ Impact ]
A very popular package with massive deployments would send a mail once per
day per machine, severely annoying admins.
[ Tests ]
No automated tests; to test manually wait a night with the default
configuration to see if you'll receive a mail; can logrotate -v -f and
see if there's output.
[ Risks ]
It's a simple one-line fix.
[ Checklist ]
[✓] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[✓] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[✓] attach debdiff against the package in testing
