[Bug 576255] Re: can't install apache2.2-common (2.2.14-5ubuntu8)
Adam Conrad - This isn't apache-specific, though it seems that apache users seem to be one of the larger groups of people who think that deleting conffiles will improve their lives somehow. Not really sure how to curb that, but not with bugs in apache. I didn't delete any config files, yet I also have this problem. And if apache upgrades break without faulty user intervertion, then it is most definitely a packaging bug. Locate reqtimeout returns only /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_reqtimeout.so but there has never been any matching set of .conf and .load files in /etc/apache2/mods- available, as verified by perusing full system backups dating back to 2010-07-31. The problem just occurred for me a couple weeks ago after no modification to the system--other than upgrades--since install at 2010-04-13. If I had to make a guess, it would be that dpkg is currently expecting a file that it didn't previously provide and then assuming its absence implicates manual deletion, which is obviously a problem for anyone who expects server upgrades between untampered states to be reliable. Shouldn't they? I'm not convinced that manual deletion should be allowed to interfere either. Non-stock configuration (particularly living in /etc) is sysadmin domain and none of dpkg's concern unless --purge --reinstall is explicitly requested. If user action has broken something, fine. Let user deal with it instead of taking down a service that might have been working anyway (as it was). All dpkg should be doing is reporting /changes/ in requirements, in which case it should be supplying them. -- can't install apache2.2-common (2.2.14-5ubuntu8) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576255 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Not really sure how to curb that, but not with bugs in apache. You won't curb it by making sarky comments. If it works for a handful of congnoscenti like your goodself, but fails for the great unwashed, then it probably isn't very usefully organised. No-one's asking for 'bugs in apache'. It seems to me reasonable enough to be able to dump the config files and expect a reinstall to reload them load them with the binaries. -- can't install apache2.2-common (2.2.14-5ubuntu8) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576255 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 576255] Re: can't install apache2.2-common (2.2.14-5ubuntu8)
Having conffiles be deletable is a feature. Yes, it would be nice if dpkg was move verbose about it (perhaps listing every deleted conffile with a not reinstating deleted conffile /path/to/file during installation?), but changing the behaviour to silently restore deleted files breaks some pretty fundamental assumptions about dpkg conffile handling. Not there is a valid user-defined state, just as changed is, and you certainly wouldn't want us overwriting changed files randomly. -- can't install apache2.2-common (2.2.14-5ubuntu8) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576255 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 576255] Re: can't install apache2.2-common (2.2.14-5ubuntu8)
Agreed on all points. I suggest you read the dpkg bug report. To summarize, I'm suggesting that conffile changes be listed and the user offered a chance to resolve them as if the upstream confffiles were changed in the new release, but only when maintainer scripts fail. This is purely a selfish interest, as I see a lot of bug reports to handle related to maintainer scripts failing because the service is somewhat broken (possibly unbeknownst to the user) at upgrade time. -- can't install apache2.2-common (2.2.14-5ubuntu8) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576255 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Yes,Apache2 want not to install and the show me the error Module reqtimeout does not exist! I removed Apache2 and Cleaned the Directory before.

A package failing to find conffiles after you delete them is exactly how they're meant to behave. If you delete a dpkg conffile, deleted is considered a valid user requested state, and they won't be replaced unless you reinstall with --force-confmiss. This isn't apache-specific, though it seems that apache users seem to be one of the larger groups of people who think that deleting conffiles will improve their lives somehow.

The problem was solved by running sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove- reinstreq apache2.2-common which completelly deletes all package configuration files and removing /var/www directory. After apache2 installed successfully.

I get this too. Also removed the /etc/apache2 directory as I wanted a clean install. Fails to configure anything after the reqtimeout module fails. Tried purging with apt-get, but that fails too.

Replaced the etc/apache2 folder from a backup and renamed the conf and site files to .bak and the installation got past the module dependency, but failed to generate new conf files. Surely this isn't how it should install? The package should come with all necessary modules and generate all necessary config files on install, and not rely on pre-existing files. -- can't install apache2.2-common (2.2.14-5ubuntu8) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576255 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
