How do I get a copy of log_server_status perl script for apache2?

I have a stock apache2 server installed with apt-get. There is supposedly a perl script for getting machine-readable output of the apache status: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/log_server_status.html However, I can't find this script anywhere on my Debian Buster install and a packa

So, I guess you would download an upstream Apache source tarball, extract it, and copy the log_server_status script out of the extracted tarball and into /usr/local/bin. Or wherever you want it. Interesting. First time I've seen a debian package remove a file like that. It can also be do

Understood. Hmm, just tried mutt again and it can not delete files, telling me, that "temporary files can not be written" in /var/mail. So it looks more that the file and directory permissions are set correctly, and that means -> I have to take a look at mutt. Easiest way, just uninstall and r
