Subject: apache: Messages about incorrect version appear in /var/log/apache2/error.log

Date: Sat, 14 Aug 2010 21:04:55 +0100

Package: libapache2-mod-python
Version: 3.3.1-9+b1
Severity: normal
File: apache


Everytime I restart Apache I get these errors in /var/log/apache2/error.log.  The messages don't tell me what's generated them
or what to do, so I don't know how to fix them.

Do these actually break anything?  Looking at the source, after the
messages are emitted the code appears to continue on its way.

If the module really relies on such a specific version of python
relative to the version it was built against, that needs to be reflected
in the dependencies (and would be RC if the mismatch causes the module
to not function correctly).

Regards,

Adam

Hai, 

Even in squeeze, i have these linese. 

[Sun Mar 20 21:16:54 2011] [error] python_init: Python version mismatch,
expected '2.6.5+', found '2.6.6'.
[Sun Mar 20 21:16:54 2011] [error] python_init: Python executable found

k:/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old:/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload'.
[Sun Mar 20 21:16:54 2011] [notice] mod_python: Creating 8 session mutexes

[Sun Mar 20 21:16:54 2011] [notice] mod_python: using mutex_directory /tmp

Yes it loads, but who wants unneeded error lines in your logs.

My log analyzer picks up these error line and gives a wrong message to me. 

The bug is not the error message, but

expected '2.6.5+', found '2.6.6'.  

is correct, 2.6.6. is bigger then 2.6.5+ .

so there should not be a message at all. 

Small bug but would be nice if fixed some day. 

Best regards, 

Louis

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I have noticed this error in my apache2 error log as well. The version of
libapache2-mod-python still appears to be 3.3.1-9+b1. This was installed by
default with tasksel when installing a webserver on Squeeze. The error does
appear to be benign but may be confusing for some users. It will appear int
he error log with each restart of apache2.

kthxbye

This is still an issue with the current versions of the relevant
packages in testing.  A simple recompile of libapache2-mod-python
clears this bug.

(And ignore the lintian error
apache2-module-depends-on-real-apache2-package; there's a bug against
lintian about it: #796285)
