Bug Description

The squid wiki claims to install the squid 2.7 package with aptitude install squid
but when you run that command it tries to install squid3. This is a nuisance because
squid3 does not provide all the abilities of squid 2.7 and I and others need those abilities.
I'm sure we would all like the packages to work. Please, and Thank you.

Ubuntu

Packages available for Squid on multiple architectures.

The upstream wiki is somewhat out of date. The Squid-3.3 versions of Squid which are installed with "aptitude install squid" on current Ubuntu do contain almost all the Squid-2 features.

The few useful ones which it omits are in later Squid versions not yet packaged for Ubuntu, but available from Debian repositories. If there are missing features please get in touch with upstream about available options for getting them ported from the obsolete Squid-2.6/2.7 fork back to the Squid mainline releases.
