Yes that was the solution.
It is not enough to install the package(s), debian wants you to do this

a2enmod cgi

by hand, also that it could as well be in a post install script.

as programmed, swish++ should be a package requirement, not a recommendation.

almost solved. Bug or feature ?

I recall having similar issues with this system a few years ago; specifically, search would not work. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a solution. There is a README file at the source repository which says you need to enable CGI in your local web server, so maybe that is worth a try.

Yesterday i installed dwww. Today I looked, if indexes have been built, but have not.
I run /etc/cron.daily/dwww, it quit immediately.

I run /etc/cron.weekly/dwww,

/etc/cron.weekly (git)-[master] # sh -x -v dwww

It asked if swish++ was installed and quit. Of course swish++ was not installed, because it was a recommendation only.
Now I installed swish++, now it builds the index.

Debian Documentation is flawed and dependencies are also flawed both on the website and in the installation.
