Package: apache
Version: 1.3.28-2
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable
The following error occurs during upgrade:
[...]
Configuration syntax error detected. Not reloading.
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.
dpkg: error processing apache (--configure):
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
This is also a violation of Debian Policy 10.7.3 :
[...]
Configuration file handling must conform to the following behavior:
* local changes must be preserved during a package upgrade, and
[...]
Many thanks,
