Package: apache2 Severity: serious Justification: no longer builds from source
I have built recently built versions 2.0.53-{1,2,3} of apache2 successfully. However version 2.0.53-4 fails, the output ending with: checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for external PCRE library... /home/l4545/src/henry-packages/apache2/apache2-2.0.53-4.henry.1/build-tree/apache2/configure: line 2675: syntax error near unexpected token AC_LANG_PROGRAM' /home/l4545/src/henry-packages/apache2/apache2-2.0.53-4.henry.1/build-tree/apache2/configure: line 2675: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE(AC_LANG_PROGRAM([[#include <pcre.h>]],' make[1]: Entering directory /home/l4545/src/henry-packages/apache2/apache2-2.0.53-4.henry.1/build-tree/apache2-build/prefork' make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.
