Debian unstable - apt-get upgrade broke apache2

GT_Onizuka · 10-08-2006, 11:46 PM

I was just running a routine sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, and it seemed to hiccup on apache2

Code:

Unpacking replacement apache2-mpm-prefork ...
(Reading database ... 130413 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing apache2-common ...
Stopping apache 2.0 web server...apache2: Syntax error on line 116 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/cgi.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cgi.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cgi.so: undefined symbol: apr_filename_of_pathname
 failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing apache2-common (--remove):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 apache2-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any ideas? I commented out the line for loading modules, but it's going to cause a lot more problems considering I'm using those modules, any reason why it doesn't work all of a sudden?

You might want to take a look here:
View topic - Apache2 warning: don't dist-upgrade if you use apache 2
http://kanotix.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-21411.html

The only solution at this time is to downgrade to the apache version in testing.

This seems to be helpful to those who haven't already run the dist-upgrade... how can I go about reverting to the old version of apache2 (or the one that's running in testing)?

if your package is broken, then you can use the synaptic package manager to fix it.
