Package: swish++
Version: 6.1.5-2.1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Running /usr/bin/httpindex reveals that it hardcodes a call to
/usr/bin/index (rather than the packaged /usr/bin/index++):
$ wget -rxnv http://localhost/example.html 2>&1 | httpindex -d
open2: exec of /usr/bin/index -v4 - failed at /usr/bin/httpindex line 52
(I also notice that the example in httpindex(1) uses long-gone wget
options.)
Editing the call on line 52, or adding a symlink from /usr/bin/index
to /usr/bin/index++, is enough to fix it. My patch is just an ugly
hack that does the former.
I'm calling it "Severity: minor" because it looks like nobody ever
uses httpindex; certainly dwww doesn't, and I only hit on it by
accident. So you might alternatively want to retire it completely.
