This is now resolved, we released an updated Highline gem into the 1.4 repo
for precise & squeeze to resolve the issue.
However, on all Deb distros, fresh default installs should watch out for
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/15-default.conf being left in place by the
installer. This causes http (not https) traffic to route to the wrong
vhost, breaking http connections to Foreman. This directly impacts
provisioning, since d-i uses only http URLs. The workaround is to delete
15-default.conf and restart Apache. This is logged as Bug #4225.
Regards,
Greg

Great job, but why it's still not promoted to stable in deb repository?

When we released 1.3 there were complaints that stable was moved to
1.3 with no delay, as people using 'stable' instead of '1.3' got
upgrades when they were not expecting it. It's debatable who is right,
but it's not harmful to wait a few days before moving the symlink, and
I'm travelling for FOSDEM at the moment anyway. The link will be
updated later this week.

This is now complete, 'stable' now points to 1.4. Hope that gave
everyone enough time
