Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.19-4
Severity: important

lighttpd fails to execute CGI scripts in /usr/lib/cgi-bin due to a
double alias.url for "/cgi-bin/" => "...".  Snippet from
conf-enabled/10-cgi.conf:

 #1
 alias.url += ( "/cgi-bin/" => "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/" )
 
 $HTTP["remoteip"] =~ "127.0.0.1" {
 	#2
    alias.url += ( "/cgi-bin" => "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/" )
    $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgi-bin/" {
      cgi.assign = ( "" => "" )
    }
 }

Removing #1 from the config and restarting lighttpd solves the problem.
See also:

 $ strace -p $(pidof lighttpd)
 ...
 stat64("/usr/lib/cgi-bin/, /usr/lib/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi", 0xbf9131c8) =
 	-1 ENOENT
 ...

lighttpd concatenates both entries by a comma.  Of course that path
does not exist on my system.

Whether this is an application bug or not I don't know, but it's easily
avoidable by removing #1 from the config.
