Problems with 2.0.14 Debian package

Hi, I’ve had a go at using the Debian package rt_2.0.14_test.deb
but have had some problems with the Apache configuration.
I’ve never installed RT before, so I don’t know how things are
set up in non-Debian installations.

Here are some notes on specific files:

/usr/share/doc/request-tracker/README.gz
…has an example Apache configuration which refers to ‘webmux.pl’,
which appears to have been renamed to ‘modperl-handler.pl’.

/usr/share/doc/request-tracker/examples/apache.conf
…an alternative Apache conf, but this doesn’t ‘require’ a startup
script, so Apache has no idea where to find the Perl modules.

/usr/lib/request-tracker/bin/modperl-handler.pl
…tries to ‘use’ config.pm, which is OK, but…

/usr/lib/request-tracker/perl/RT/Mason.pm
…tries to ‘use’ RT/Config.pm, which doesn’t exist.

I’ve currently got this in the Apache conf, which doesn’t work
because of the missing RT/Config.pm:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName rt.thefinalword.org.uk
ServerAlias rt
DocumentRoot /usr/share/request-tracker/WebRT/html

PerlRequire /usr/lib/request-tracker/bin/modperl-handler.pl

PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlModule RT::Mason

SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler RT::Mason

Any suggestions appreciated.

cheers,
Qef

If this is your first time why not use:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/request-tracker.html

The 2.0.13 package in unstable/misc?
