I see this mistake over and over (and over) again in various Ubuntu
guides and HOWTOs, and I really thing we need to stop. If apache2
depends on apache2-common (and yes, it does), then why on earth do we
complicate things by telling users to explicitly install both? "apt-get
install apache2" would work just as well, and is much less confusing.
I wonder if this is a legacy of configuration (i.e. versioning) issues
with certain apache2 packages in Ubuntu? I found myself doing something
quite similar while attempting to get mod_perl properly configured on my
Ubuntu (Breezy) machine.
It didn't solve anything, of course, and ultimately wasn't useful, but I
wonder if, when someone finally got it working, they figured this was
the 'magical' formula for it?
