[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#728245: icinga-cgi: fails to install: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Hi,

this is the actual problem. The maintscript-helper could not enable the
CGI module and thus fails out. So far that's correct behavior. Now, the
underlying question ist _why_ it fails.

I cannot reproduce this in a default installation of Apache 2.4 and a
clean chroot either. However, note that a2enmod selects cgid over cgi
when a threaded MPM was found. Thus, "a2enmod cgi" will actually enable
"cgid" when the event/worker MPM is used. Either way this is handled
correctly I think:

(work-amd64)root at build:/build/apache# a2enmod cgi ; echo $?
Your MPM seems to be threaded. Selecting cgid instead of cgi.
Enabling module cgid.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 restart
0
(work-amd64)root at build:/build/apache#
(work-amd64)root at build:/build/apache# a2query -m cgi
No module matches cgi
(work-amd64)root at build:/build/apache# a2query -m cgid
cgid (enabled by site administrator)
(work-amd64)root at build:/build/apache# a2dismod cgid
Module cgid disabled.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 restart
(work-amd64)root at build:/build/apache# a2enmod -m -q cgi ; echo $?
Your MPM seems to be threaded. Selecting cgid instead of cgi.
Enabling module cgid.

What's special in your environment Andreas making this fail?
