Finally, I found that an issue was raised : Bug 51372 httxt2dbm does not remove map entries <https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51372>
It was solved by a documentation update in Apache trunk. As a matter of fact, the Apache 2.4 documentation says : If the output file already exists, it will not be truncated. New keys will > be added and existing keys will be updated. Apache 2.2 documentation was not updated yet. 2015-06-23 15:10 GMT+02:00 Antoine Prevosto <antoine.prevo...@gmail.com>: > Hi Rainer, > > I have the same issue ... 5 years later ;) with Apache 2.2.22, and even > with Apache 2.4.10. > > Did you get an explanation (or I will raise an issue). > > Thanks > Antoine. > > 2010-04-01 13:32 GMT+02:00 Rainer Frey <rainer.f...@inxmail.de>: > >> I use DBM rewrite maps (apache 2.2.9 - package 2.2.9-10+lenny6) on debian >> 5 >> with BerkeleyDB 4.6 (package 4.6.21-11).
