There is a related fix to improve that since vivid (and debian) already in 2.4.10-7 and anything later. It was not considered critical enough to be valid for an SRU. That is around the code that checks if - in a new installation - there is no old content in /var/www[/html] and then it has to palce a new default index.html there. In your case I see in the log that it is a new install of apache2 (after a lot of installs and removes/purges before). It gets to the code and decides that there is nothing yet in /var/www so it has to place the new index.html Then it fails there with: cp: cannot stat ‘/usr/share/apache2/default-site/index.html’: No such file or directory This file actually belongs to the apache2-data package - so it seems that dependency was not installed for you while you installed apache2. The apache2 package clearly has a Dependency on it Depends: lsb-base, procps, perl, mime-support, apache2-bin (= 2.4.7-1ubuntu4), apache2-data (= 2.4.7-1ubuntu4) But in your DPKG Log there is never a mentioning of apache2-data which is weird. It is not even a recommend, but a clear depends. Still it is confusing why it wasn't brought in via the dependency. If the error is reproducible and on your next "apt-get install apache2" you get no apache2-data installed by dependency please share: - apt-cache show apache2 - full output of the apt-get install apache2 - dpkg -l '*apache*' - apt-cache policy apache2 - apt-cache policy apache2-data For a workaround I'd try: - take a look when installing apache2 if apache2-data gets installed as dependency. - if not consider installing it manually before apache2 That should get you going. ** Changed in: apache2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: apache2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1537480 Title: package apache2 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.8 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1537480/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
