Right... I went there, downloaded apache and apache-common from version
1.3.29.0.2-3. I also downloaded PHP4 from the same date.

Days that I tried: 2004/03/11 and 2004/03/06

So, I downloaded to a directory and dpkg -i *
Downgraded the versions. After a apt-get dist-upgrade
Installed without problems.

apt-get --purge remove apache apache-common php4

Installing again with dpkg -i * and apt-get dist-upgrade
No problems again.

So, I tried with apache 1.3.29.0.1-5
Made the same steps and nothing...

I think that we will never know what was happening here... :-/
I made a great mistake in doing a apt-get --purge remove on the first
time.

Well, I am almost sure that the problem was on /usr/share/apache since
/etc/apache was OK.

Is it there another place that have config files for apache or the process
of upgrade/installation of it?
