Package: apache2 Version: 2.4.46-4 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: patrickjrdunf...@gmail.com
Description: If apache2 is uninstalled and then reinstalled, the reinstallation will fail if the user has removed conf files in /etc/apache2 directory. The script does not copy these files for reinstallation in the same way as it does for first time installation. Therefore it is nearly impossible for a user to perform a clean reinstallation of apache2 using the package installer. Steps to reproduce: apt install apache2 apt remove apache2 cd /etc/apache2 rm -rf * apt install apache2 The installation fails when apache2.service is unable to start due to missing apache2.conf file in /etc/apache2. A check of this directory reveals the reinstallation only copied in some of the files that are present in a full installation. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing-security APT policy: (500, 'testing-security'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_NZ:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages apache2 depends on: ii apache2-bin 2.4.46-4 ii apache2-data 2.4.46-4 ii apache2-utils 2.4.46-4 ii dpkg 1.20.7.1 ii init-system-helpers 1.60 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 ii mime-support 3.66 ii perl 5.32.1-3 ii procps 2:3.3.17-4 Versions of packages apache2 recommends: ii ssl-cert 1.1.0 Versions of packages apache2 suggests: pn apache2-doc <none> pn apache2-suexec-pristine | apache2-suexec-custom <none> ii firefox-esr [www-browser] 78.9.0esr-1 ii konqueror [www-browser] 4:20.12.0-4 Versions of packages apache2-bin depends on: ii libapr1 1.7.0-6 ii libaprutil1 1.6.1-5 ii libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 1.6.1-5 ii libaprutil1-ldap 1.6.1-5 ii libbrotli1 1.0.9-2+b2 ii libc6 2.31-11 ii libcrypt1 1:4.4.17-1 ii libcurl4 7.74.0-1.1 ii libjansson4 2.13.1-1.1 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.57+dfsg-2 ii liblua5.3-0 5.3.3-1.1+b1 ii libnghttp2-14 1.43.0-1 ii libpcre3 2:8.39-13 ii libssl1.1 1.1.1k-1 ii libxml2 2.9.10+dfsg-6.3+b1 ii perl 5.32.1-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2 Versions of packages apache2-bin suggests: pn apache2-doc <none> pn apache2-suexec-pristine | apache2-suexec-custom <none> ii firefox-esr [www-browser] 78.9.0esr-1 ii konqueror [www-browser] 4:20.12.0-4 Versions of packages apache2 is related to: ii apache2 2.4.46-4 ii apache2-bin 2.4.46-4 -- no debconf information
