>Description:

    the htdig package (like many many other packages) unnecessarily depends on
the very specific apache-package apache-1.3.33_1, making it (and the other
packages, too) uninstallable if you want to have https or apache 2.

This is completely braindead, as htdig is a cgi that works with any 
webserver and doesn't even need a webserver if you want to run the
indexer on a different host than the search frontend.

>How-To-Repeat:
install FreeBSD, pkg_add -r apache+mod_ssl; pkg_add -r htdig

>Fix:
	look at debian.
