Bug#620822: mod_perl is not re-enabled when removing and re-installing the same version

[David Cho-Lerat]

Package: libapache2-mod-perl2
Version: 2.0.4-7
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze sid lenny

1. Problem Description:

libapache2-mod-perl2.postinst says :

if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ -z "$2" ]; then
         a2enmod perl || true
fi

so if one removes (without purging) the package and then
re-installs it with the same version, $2 is not empty -
hence "a2enmod perl" is not be called, and mod_perl is
not automatically re-enabled.

I suggest that

&& [ -z "$2" ]

be removed, as "a2enmod perl || true" should be called
in any case.

Many thanks,
David.

2. Used Components and their Configuration:

*** mod_perl version 2.000004
