[Bug 943088] Re: package nagios3-cgi 3.2.3-1ubuntu1.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Clint Byrum]

mahesh, this appears to be an incompatibility with nagios3's maintainer
scripts and the 'mini-httpd' package, which diverts /usr/bin/htpasswd,
and thus cannot take the -b argument.

The appropriate way to fix this is probably for the maintainer script to
add a 'Breaks: mini-httpd' or perhaps detect that it has been installed
by looking for /usr/bin/htpasswd.apache-utils.

Ultimately, though, mini-httpd seems fairly wrong headed in diverting
htpasswd, and should not, IMO, be diverting /usr/bin/htpasswd, as it is
not a fully compatible drop in replacement. So, I'm marking this as also
affecting mini-httpd (Debian bug is already existing, will mark that as
well). nagios3, imo, doesn't really need to handle this, as mini-httpd
is the "rude" package here. So marking as Low in nagios3, and High in
mini-httpd.

As a workaround, remove mini-httpd, as it is not compatible with the
maintainer scripts of nagios3.
