Yes, there's an old apache2-prefork-dev in the repository because packages still depend on it. It will be removed when that's no longer the case. THAT SAID, if you read the 2.2->2.4 documentation above, rather than asking for someone to read it to you, you'll notice that the apache maintainers in Debian have quite drastically upended the packaging and the way modules should build and depend on apache, so unless you're prepared to write a very hideous debian/rules and debian/control, you're really better off just maintaining one set of packaging scripts for <= 2.2 and one for >= 2.4. Packing for 2.4 using the new dh_* snippet is very clean and simple, but not if you try to make it backward compatible.
Anyhow, the part where your package probably needs changes to be friends with apache2.4 and the part where we have a crufty package in the archive while we're still in the middle of the transition are two opposite points. However, the latter wouldn't be an issue if you addressed the former (as almost all apache2 modules in Debian have done by now). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1206114 Title: Package apache2-prefork-dev broken in Saucy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1206114/+subscriptions -- 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
