[Openstack-devel] Bug#708632: uses debconf as a registry; unconditionally changes apache configuration in prerm

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Package: openstack-dashboard-apache
Version: 2012.1.1-10
Severity: important

openstack-dashboard-apache uses debconf as a registry, see [1]. The values
from debconf override admin choices at package upgrades, they do not default to
the current configuration.

In addition the prerm maintainer script enables apache's default site even if
it wasn't enabled before. This also happens on upgrades of
openstack-dashboard-apache itself.

PS: chown -R in maintainer scripts is usually bad as well... Let www-data
hardlink /bin/bash to /var/lib/openstack-dashboard/static/foo, wait for
upgrade, profit.
