[Pkg-awstats-devel] Bug#508425: awstats: refuses to start if config has nested includes, although supported

[Tobia Conforto]

Package: awstats
Version: 6.5+dfsg-1+etch1
Severity: normal

The awstats version supplied with Debian stable refuses to run if the  
configuration files have nested includes (file A includes B, which  
includes C) with this error message:

Warning: Perl versions before 5.6 cannot handle nested includes

But it is not just a warning (awstats terminates!) and the Perl  
version shipped with Etch is 5.8.8, which handles nested includes  
without problems.

Attached is a patch that fixes the problem, removing the wrong warning.
