ok, thanks.

?? So you mean that the common debian user (who wants stable) will not
be able to use horde because he will not find this info? The comment in
#433458 that this is an upstream problem is invalid. It is debian who
changed the path from horde to horde3. It is the debian readme file that
needs to document this.

no. It is poorly documented. You have the chance to fix this by applying
my (corrected) patch. Nobody will get hurt, and some might thank you for it.

I did not remove it, I added it. But I totally messed-up the patch.
Sorry about that. I could send you a correct one. Just tell me if you
want to fix this bug.

No, sorry. README.Debian never mentions the horde wiki nor the
debian/horde wiki. _I_ added this part. In fact, that's what this bug
report is about. As I said, I screwed-up the patch

Yes it is. If you use firefox to connect to "localhost/horde3", it still
doesn't work. You have to connect to "localhost.localdomain/horde3".
Otherwise, the session cookie is not presented to the server. And
session cookies are the issue of this bug report.

borg:~# dpkg-query -S /etc/horde/horde3/conf.php
horde3: /etc/horde/horde3/conf.php
