I am not sure i get exactly what you mean. the file was called
mod-ssl.conf and you renamed it to something else?? in case to what?
in the other case how was named it before and after?

Thanks
Fabio


It's a folder '/etc/apache/mod-ssl.conf' which includes the other files grep claimed missing.

These files are related to libapache-mod-ssl. Interesting is that each of these errors comes three times. And that the first three messages have the double colon in the text. As if grep looks for a file/directory '/etc/apache/mod-ssl.conf:' which doesn't exist.

I don't know, which scripts are involved during the update, but after renaming the folder to '/etc/apache/mod-ssl.conf.old', the update worked nicely until the attempt to start apache.

I had to stop apache myself to get it through the update process. Then the update was finished and apache started.
