Package: gitweb Version: 1:2.11.0-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 3.5
After running full-upgrade today I noticed that my gitweb server started returning internal server errors. Apache's error.log contained many repeats of this error: [Mon Dec 12 17:03:04.782271 2016] [cgi:error] [pid 20116] [client 163.172.66.30:41120] AH01215: Can't locate CGI.pm in @INC (you may need to install the CGI module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at /usr/share/gitweb/index.cgi line 13.: /usr/share/gitweb/index.cgi [Mon Dec 12 17:03:04.782303 2016] [cgi:error] [pid 20116] [client 163.172.66.30:41120] AH01215: BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/gitweb/index.cgi line 13.: /usr/share/gitweb/index.cgi [Mon Dec 12 17:03:04.782368 2016] [cgi:error] [pid 20116] [client 163.172.66.30:41120] End of script output before headers: index.cgi A search for CGI.pm revealed it to live in libcgi-pm-perl and installing that package fixed the issue. dpkg.log reveals that the package was installed prior to today's upgrade. I don't know why it got removed, and the relevant output has already disappeared from my terminal scrollback. The gitweb package suggests libcgi-fast-perl, which in turn depends on libcgi-pm-perl. However that won't be installed by default. As gitweb's index.cgi explicitly and unconditionally references the CGI module, it seems that a direct dependency should be added to the gitweb package.
