Syntax error on line 275 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
ServerName takes one argument, The hostname of the server
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache, action "start" failed.

 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 apache
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Before attempting the upgrade, /etc/apache/httpd.conf (275) reads:
ServerName vivacia

Afterwards it reads:
ServerName vivacia vivacia

Many thanks,
Neil McGovern
