Oh, I'm sorry it wasn't obvious. The problem is that
1) apache2-common's prerm runs /etc/init.d/apache2 stop, which 2) runs /usr/sbin/apache2 -t, which 3) parses the config files, and does a full apache setup, which 4) tries to load all the modules, but 5) apache2-mpm-prefork has already been removed, so 6) it can't run. Or, more simply, apache2-common's prerm Depends: on all the apache2 stuff, and the fact that it isn't declared to causes a mess. The simple workaround is to ensure that there are no apache2 processes running (pgrep apache2), and then just comment the /etc/init.d/apache2 stop call out of /var/lib/dpkg/info/apache2-common.prerm. Actually, I just add "exit 0" before all the dh_installinit stuff. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
