Bug#214555: apache-common: error in modules-config preventing configuration

[Chris Dunlop <chris@onthe.net.au>]

Package: apache-common
Version: 1.3.28-1
Severity: normal


The calculation of the $LAST and $DIFF variables is like:

  LAST=`wc -l $TMP | cut -d " " -f1
  DIFF=`expr $LAST - $FIRST`

However the output of the cut command has leading spaces,
which means $LAST ends up being blank and the expr in the
$DIFF calculation fails.

There many, many, many ways of extracting the number of lines,
this one works for me:

  LAST=`cat $TMP | wc -l`
  DIFF=`expr $LAST - $FIRST`
