Bug#214486: apache: modules-config has problems with cut in coreutils 5.0-5

It is not 'cut' that has changed, it is 'wc'. The issue is that
the output of 'wc' seems to have had cosmetic formatting changes. I don't
think apache should rely on how 'wc' indents its output. IMHO this is
an apache packaging bug.
