Hi Stefan,

The postinst still calls htpasswd, so it could still fail with mini-httpd.
Also, please file a bug on the Debian mini-httpd package asking for
-b support so that we can get rid of this hack one day.

Also, there is a failure waiting to happen if the user installs and
then removes and doesn't purge mini-httpd, so please extend the
checks for apachectl to check for something that indicates the
mini-httpd package is installed.

Perhaps we are better off dropping mini-httpd support. It's not even
listed as an alternative in the depends, so you have to install apache
anyway.

Thanks,

James
