Bug#155307: apache2-mpm-threadpool: install fails; undefined symbol gdbm_errno in /usr/lib/libaprutil.so.0
Package: apache2-mpm-threadpool
Version: 2.0.39+cvs.1027964860-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I'm having a problem upgrading from 2.0.37-2 to 2.0.39+cvs.1027964860-1.
The package failed to upgrade when doing my usual dist-upgrade; it looks
like perhaps the new libapr0 package gets installed before apache2-mpm-,
and this causes the scripts to break.
The problem prevents you from removing the apache2-mpm-threadpool
package, too, saying it is in a badly inconsistent state and should be
reinstalled before you try to remove it. Of course, you can't reinstall
it either... :-)
I got around this by downgrading apache2-common and libapr0, and then:
apt-get remove apache2-mpm-threadpool
apt-get install apache2-common libapr0 (to upgrade to 2.0.39+cvs)
apt-get install apache2-mpm-threadpool
Now all seems well (aside from my configuration being eaten at some
point in the process), so it does indeed seem related to the order
in which the packages are upgraded.
This is the output of 'apt-get install' after the failed dist-upgrade:
