[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#485735: Can not serve images of help pages to other computers.

[Charles Plessy]

Package: emboss-explorer
Version: 2.2.0-5
Severity: normal

Hi all,

I installed emboss-explorer on my work computer, and wanted to use it
from the Macintosh of a colleague. While it worked well in general, it
did not manage to serve the emboss logo of the documentation pages. I
have the following error in the logs:

[Tue Jun 10 20:18:43 2008] [error] [client 10.64.135.3] client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/doc/emboss-explorer/html/emboss_icon.jpg, referer: http://anx159/cgi-bin/emboss/help/vectorstrip

/usr/share/doc/emboss-explorer/html is a symbolic link to
`../../EMBOSS/doc/html/emboss/apps'. Strangely, the html page displayed
for the documentation is also in this directory. It is however not
displayed directly, but through URLs like: `http://computer.example/cgi-bin/emboss/help/vectorstrip'

I am not sure is this bugs belongs to upstream or our packaging, and I
do not know enough of Apache to figure out what makes the localhost
requests different from the local network requests.

Any idea ?

Have a nice day,

-- Charles
