Bug#216402: apache-common: config fails due to invalid chown/chmod option syntax

[Gregory Stark <gsstark@mit.edu>]

Package: apache-common
Version: 1.3.28-4
Severity: normal


Setting up apache-common (1.3.28-4) ...
chown: failed to get attributes of `-R': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing apache-common (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 apache-common


The offending line appears to be:

chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/apache/mod-bandwidth -R
chmod 777 /var/lib/apache/mod-bandwidth -R


Unix options like -R need to go on the beginning of the command.
Like:

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/apache/mod-bandwidth
chmod -R 777 /var/lib/apache/mod-bandwidth
