Silence bogus apache 1.3 warning

[Tom Misilo]

I noticed with Ubuntu 22.04LTS that the mod_shib (libapache2-mod-shib) package is spamming the apache error logs with the following

[Wed Aug 10 09:05:59.526216 2022] [mod_shib:warn] [pid 1340314] DEPRECATED: Apache 1.3 module, please upgrade to Apache 2.4+

This commit http://git.shibboleth.net/view/?p=cpp-sp.git;a=blobdiff;f=apache/mod_shib.cpp;h=1a1f2543c817bfccbfc3feea8b430a14b2d2e457;hp=6b1dc676e15f9ae1fcbefb82f98dcedbcdce2566;hb=7b5c7aced15c0be5404bcba0bcec4c586323fba9;hpb=529e2b2bf67cff93118b67a3587dec78d32595c3 from upsteam resolves the issue, and will be in a future 3.3.1 release.

Could this be applied as a patch to the current 3.3.0 in U22?

Thanks!

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Great, it is "confirmed" 6 months ago. Is there any intent to fix in 22.04.x ?

still a problem as of 6/9/2023

In case it helps anyone move this forward, back in Dec 2021, someone specified what looks from the outside like a straightforward fix:
