I'm following apache2 bugs closely in order to catch any issues with the
2.4 transition. Since the conclusion here is that there is no action
needed in the apache2 package (or in the archive), I'd like this out of
my triage queue.
If you'd like to discuss this further, please take it to the mailin
Yes, there's an old apache2-prefork-dev in the repository because
packages still depend on it. It will be removed when that's no longer
the case. THAT SAID, if you read the 2.2->2.4 documentation above,
rather than asking for someone to read it to you, you'll notice that the
apache maintainers in
It's additional work to maintain separate packages for different
releases. If possible, I would like to have a single source package that
builds with either Apache 2.2 or Apache 2.4.
In general it seems to me that you don't want to break all current
packages with a dependency on `apache2-prefork-d
Can you not drop the apache2-prefork-dev build-dep and build-dep only on
apache2-dev instead? The wiki page has directions. Is there a reason why
this won't work for you?

In that case, perhaps you can help me suggest how I should specify my
build-depends such that apache2-prefork-dev can correctly be resolved?
Currently the control file is as follows, which does not resolve, even
though there is no version of apache2-prefork-dev specified:
https://github.com/jeffre
apache2-prefork-dev is now a virtual package provided by apache2-dev,
and your build depends requires a versioned apache2-prefork-dev which
cannot be resolved by the virtual package. So my understanding is that
it is no longer possible to build-depend on a versioned apache2-prefork-
dev.

Can you be more specific in which way the libapache2-mod-r-base package
is not following guidelines?
Also the problem still remains that the package 'apache2-prefork-dev'
exists but is broken. It seems you need to either completely remove this
package, or add something like:
Provides: apache2-pre
We are in process of transitioning from apache2.2 to apache2.4.
In addition, apache2.4 is handling debian packaging in a very different way,
thus packaging needs changing of all modules / extensions and webapps.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
When did you attempt this build, please? Was it after apache2.4 landed
in saucy, or before proposed-migration?
It would really help if you could post a link to your source package and
Launchpad build page for the
