Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.28-2
Severity: serious
lighttpd split out the spawn-fcgi binary and manual page to spawn-fcgi
but does not handle removal of the alternatives. As a result anyone
upgrading from lenny to squeeze who has recommends turned off will have
dangling alternatives. With recommends on spawn-fcgi gets pulled in and
the dangling alternative is fixed by spawn-fcgi. Lots of folks running
servers will have installing recommends turned off so I marked this
serious. Whatever the severity I personally think this should be fixed
in squeeze, please co-ordinate a fix with the release team.
