Basically, yes. If I install a 3rd party module that uses apxs, it
will install in /usr/lib/apache/1.3, and presumably everything will be
working ok untill I try and upgrade and *bang*, my previously
functional installation is broken.
I'm not sure what the 'solution' to this bug is, but if you consider
the number of bug reports that have arrived to date and do some
extrapolation to the number of stable users who will hit this on
upgrade, to me it seems evident that another solution is necessary. I
wish I were able to suggest something that would make everyone happy,
but I don't have all the world's answers, only some of them;-)
