Bug Description

To run correctly the package needs the libcgi-pm-perl installed on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and the package are not on the dependency list.

# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04

# apt-cache policy lightsquid
lightsquid:
  Installed: 1.8-5
  Candidate: 1.8-5
  Version table:
 *** 1.8-5 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

-> What you expected to happen: Install the package and be able to see the logs from Squid.

-> What happened instead: Install the package but not work correctly because lack some important packages on the package list (libcgi-pm-perl).

-> Extra important changes to make it work correctly:

Apache2 are not able to process it correctly without two other things:

1-> On the file: /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/lightsquid.conf

Alias /lightsquid/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/lightsquid/
<Location "/lightsquid/">
        Options +ExecCGI
        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
 Require local
</Location>

2-> To be able to process correctly the Perl CGI and, on file: /etc/lightsquid/lightsquid.cfg

...
#path to access.log
$logpath ="/var/log/squid";
...

change from squid3 to squid, as squid3 now is the default. That's it. Thanks.
