Debian doesn't support dist-upgrades with skipping one release inbetween (at least not officially) and hence upgrading with kernels from "oldoldstable" isn't really supported either. Nevertheless thanks for reporting this issue. > Please make Apache depend on a 'new' kernel. Apparently that is 2.6.30+ > or better 3.2+ that provides a certain syscall that is being used. This will make the situation worse for many virtual machines where the kernel is hosted outside the virtual machine, namely on Xen DomUs which don't use pygrub or inside VServers as you cited yourself in the second mail: http://serverfault.com/questions/496989/apache-in-linux-vserver-wont-start-cant-create-socket seems such a case. And no, I don't have a better solution for that at the moment. > $ uptime > 16:20:46 up 912 days, 3:38, 2 users, load average: 3.83, 2.59, 1.33 :-) Regards, Axel (sitting only a few kilometers away from you ;-) -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org>, http://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE `- | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-apache-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
