Title:
  Uploading attachment fails

Status in ikiwiki package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in libcgi-pm-perl package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I just upgraded from ubuntu 14.04 to ubuntu 15.04. Since then
  uploading attachments using the attachment plugin doesn't work anymore
  in ikiwiki. It prints a "failed!" message. Any idea what may be wrong
  here and how to fix it?

  ikiwiki version 3.20141016.2

  /var/log/apache2/error.log

  gives this:

  Died at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/CGI.pm line 497.

  I already reported this on the ikiwiki bug tracker
  (http://ikiwiki.info/bugs/Uploading_attachment_fails/). The bug is
  perhaps already fixed in debian unstable. So please upgrade the ubuntu
  package too.

  Here is the quote from the answer on the ikiwiki bug tracker:

      I think this is probably Debian bug #786587, which ikiwiki has
  worked around since 3.20150610 (Debian bug #786586). If so, then it is
  already fixed, but not in the version you have. You could report an
  Ubuntu bug asking for ikiwiki commit 7a52c87 or CGI.pm commit e4500cf
  to be backported, although in practice bugs in universe packages are
  unlikely to get fixed in an Ubuntu stable release.

      To work around this, you might be able to apt-get remove libcgi-
  pm-perl and use the older version of CGI.pm that is shipped with Perl.
