At that point, its starting apache2 (in your case). The "bad group name 1023" error is caused by the buildd user not having an entry in the groups database. Unfortunately, the apache config "Group" directive only supports group names, not gids. Also note very early on in the build (during "perl Makefile.PL"): "Test httpd will run as user buildd and group 1023" I should probably put in a specific (and more verbose) check for this in the build script, since a number of buildds have had this problem. Thanks for taking the time to investigate this. -- - Gus
