[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#345554: Bug: Two same aliases in 10-cgi.conf

[Deapesh Misra]

Hi,

I think this is a separate bug from 345554 and should be opened as a new bug.

As mentioned by Vedran Furač
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=345554#53), the
superfluous alias directive within the 10-cgi.conf file,
results in '404' errors, when trying to execute a CGI file. Commenting
it out, solves the problem.

Without commenting the line, running  /usr/sbin/lighttpd -tp -f lighttpd.conf

results in this relevant snippet:

    $HTTP["remoteip"] == "127.0.0.1" {
        # block 1
        alias.url = (
            "/cgi-bin/" => "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/, /usr/lib/cgi-bin/",
            "/doc/"     => "/usr/share/doc/",
            "/images/"  => "/usr/share/images/",
            # 3
        )

One can notice the superfluous paths. The relevant error message from
the error log is:

I found this error on Ubuntu and reported it to Ubuntu as Bug 292347.

properly? I guess email harvesters have a field day harvesting email
ids here.
