Bug#214728: apache-common: virtual hosts causes documentroot duplication and restart failure

[Matt Jackson <mjj-debian@frogdream.com>]

Package: apache-common
Version: 1.3.28-1
Severity: important
Tags: sid

I have an Apache configuration that has two virtual hosts in httpd.conf
(one of which is SSL), when configure process is run the DocumentRoot
settings are changed.  What happens is that both directories are listed
on both virtual hosts DocumentRoot lines.

I have a default DocumentRoot pointing to /var/www and 
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
DocumentRoot /var/www
...
</VirtualHost>

When dpkg -a --configure is run (as dist-upgrade fails) then both
DocumentRoot lines are changed to 

DocumentRoot /var/www /var/www

Changing one of them to /var/xxx then produces 

DocumentRoot /var/xxx /var/www


Apache fails to start as the configuration is invalid.
