Bug#238624: apache: Postinst double-includes modules.conf which makes 'Order' an unknown command.

[Roland Turner <raz.qrovna.bet@raz.cx>]

Package: apache
Version: 1.3.29.0.2-4
Severity: normal

As per description, when accepting the maintainer's version of
httpd.conf, the following appear as lines 203 through 208:

  # Please keep this LoadModule: line here, it is needed for installation.
  Include /etc/apache/modules.conf
  Include /etc/apache/modules.conf

  #
  # ExtendedStatus: controls whether Apache will generate "full" status

This causes the following to appear at Apache startup:

  [Thu Mar 18 01:54:32 2004] [warn] module config_log_module is already loaded, skipping
  [Thu Mar 18 01:54:32 2004] [warn] module mime_magic_module is already loaded, skipping

  Syntax error on line 329 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
  Invalid command 'Order', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

and thus Apache will no longer start. Removing the second include clears all
of the above and allows Apache to start once more.
