As I said the bug is pending. A fix has been already introduced to avoid apache to stop upgrading. Another fix instead is on the way to generate .info files from apxs (#228077) but it is still under testing and it will not make it for this release Fabio -- <user> fajita: step one <fajita> Whatever the problem, step one is always to look in the error log. <user> fajita: step two <fajita> When in danger or in doubt, step two is to scream and shout.
