Secure testing team - Feb 2009 - RM: libapache-mod-php5/stable-security -- ROM; obsolete, causes trouble for stable users

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: important

Hi,

Could you please remove the obsolete libapache-mod-php5 5.2.0-10+lenny1
from security.debian.org in the lenny suite?

This is important because it keeps confusing users: libapache-mod-php5
(the Apache 1.3 version) has been removed since lenny, but it keeps being
available from the security archive. However, this is an obsolete version
which is hence also not kept up to date with security fixes; people must
migrate to libapache2-mod-php5.

I think this is a symtom of #464045, however, removing this package by
hand swiftly is in my opinion preferred over waiting for that bug to be
resolved.


thanks!
Thijs
