Package: apache
Version: 1.3.29.0.2-5
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi Debian apache team!

After today's dist-upgrade (via dselect), I got a surprising boot
message that apache was not executable. 'dpkg -L apache' showed that
the package was essentially empty (just two or three directories and
config files), apache-common was completely empty.

So I purged the packages and tried to reinstall them, but that is
impossible: apache depends on perl (<< 5.8.4-0), but perl is at
5.8.4-1. I'm not sure whether this is the reason why the package was
not unpacked properly (I did not read dselect output since it exited
cleanly and did not prompt for anything). Nevertheless this dependency
makes apache uninstallable in sid.

Thanks for sorting that out and for your efforts!

Martin
