Package: apache2.2 Version: 2.2.3-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
When I attempted to dist-upgrade, my apache2 was removed, but apache2.2 was not installed. I had a series of complaints about -- I do not have the output saved, my apologies -- that vesion 2.0-something of apache2-common (IIRC) was stricly required, but I had 2.2-something installed. I then attempted some manual fixes. What I get is: # apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Correcting dependencies... Done The following extra packages will be installed: apache2.2-common The following NEW packages will be installed: apache2.2-common 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded. 2 not fully installed or removed.

I expect I'll figure it out eventually (suggestions welcome). My somewhat practiced eye makes me think it's a packaging problem, as the dist-upgrade process chokes on unresolved dependencies. Side comment: if the package is named apache2.2, it ought to show up as apache2.2 in the dpkg -l listings. # dpkg -l apache2* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-============================-============================-======================================================================== iU apache2 2.2.3-1 Next generation, scalable, extendable web server rc apache2-common 2.0.55-4.2 next generation, scalable, extendable web server un apache2-dev <none> (no description available) un apache2-doc <none> (no description available) un apache2-modules <none> (no description available) un apache2-mpm-perchild <none> (no description available) pn apache2-mpm-prefork <none> (no description available) un apache2-mpm-threadpool <none> (no description available) iU apache2-mpm-worker 2.2.3-1 High speed threaded model for Apache HTTPD 2.1 un apache2-prefork-dev <none> (no description available) un apache2-threaded-dev <none> (no description available) ii apache2-utils 2.2.3-1 utility programs for webservers in apache2.2-common <none> (no description available) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
