The package has libpng included, which will install with --nodeps --force...
I will add a check for it, where it will check if libpng is already
installed. If so it will skip the libpng installation.

Here is a simple description of what happens:
It installs webalizer, deletes all siteManage files, moves to /home,
symlinks, regenerates using the siteManage-fixit script from Cobalt-AID. For
some reason this is where it goes wrong. I will look into this and hope to
have a fix ready soon (along with the libpng problem)

Sure, but before you contact me. Try the following: Delete the
webalizer.conf file (backup first of course :)) and try again... The
machines tested on used the standard configuration, so give that a shot...

As far as I know (I didn't program Summarizer) summarizer loads webalizer
logs. Obviously only THAT site has working webalizer logs, the others are
not working??? (see #3)

You try my suggestion, and let me know.
In the meanwhile, I will see what I can do on the bugs...
Very strange, most servers it was installed on (mine, or others) worked
fine, but this is indeed the 2nd person who had the same issue... To
resolve: Are you using a RAQ3 or RAQ4?
