Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.11-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I wish to install lighttpd to use as a web server for a Ruby on Rails
application, but it will not be running on port 80 (already used by
Apache).  The postinst script fails on a new installation when Apache
(or another daemon) is already bound to port 80.

It is highly common to run lighttpd as a normal user on an unprivledged
port port and have Apache act as a proxy in the Ruby on Rails community.

Setting up lighttpd (1.4.11-7) ...
Starting web server: lighttpd2006-08-17 01:08:10: (network.c.300) can't
