2020-11-19 20:40:41 Bryce Harrington description I just upgraded apache2:amd64 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.15 --> 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.17 and now there is a file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.in with the following difference to apache2.conf: % diff -u /etc/apache2/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.in --- /etc/apache2/apache2.conf 2020-08-13 03:35:57.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.in 2020-07-21 05:13:31.000000000 +0200 @@ -71,7 +71,7 @@ # # The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK. # -#Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default +___MUTEX___Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default # # PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process apache2.conf.in is part of the .deb file, see https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/amd64/apache2/filelist apache2.conf.in is not mentioned in any config file in /etc/apache2, not in the init.d script or systemd service file nor in the changelog. What's the purpose of that file? From the diff above it doesn't even look like a valid apache2 config file because of the "___MUTEX___" prefix. Is this some kind of leftover from a search/replace operation? [Impact] Due to a recent SRU fix, a stray config file template gets installed on Xenial systems when apache2 is installed. This causes no harm in practice but may cause some confusion. [Test Case] * Install apache2 * Look for /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.in [Where Problems Could Occur] The fix changes what gets installed to /etc/apache2, so issues to watch for would relate to unexpected changes in the contents of this directory tree.
