Severity: important

After recently upgrading a bunch of packages, the apache postinst
script failed. It appears to be running MetaFont with the httpd.conf
file as input (!!!). Repeatedly running
dpkg --configure --pending
produces the same results.
As a side effect, all the apache configuration files in /etc/apache/
and /etc/apache/conf.d/ are being duplicated on each configuration
run.
For instance, I have:
/etc/apache/httpd.conf
/etc/apache/httpd.conf.dpkg-inst.queue
/etc/apache/httpd.conf.dpkg-inst.queue.dpkg-inst.queue
/etc/apache/httpd.conf.dpkg-inst.queue.dpkg-inst.queue.13550
/etc/apache/httpd.conf.dpkg-inst.queue.dpkg-inst.queue.29534
/etc/apache/httpd.conf.dpkg-inst.queue.dpkg-inst.queue.log
The first six files are identical except for a change in the Apache
PID location from /var/run/apache/ to /var/run/.
The last ".log" file appears to be the output from running MetaFont.
As a temporary work-around, I deleted all the *dpkg-inst.queue* files
and edited the postinst script as follows:
--- apache.postinst~ 2004-03-08 04:56:19.000000000 -0500
+++ apache.postinst 2004-03-24 16:14:32.000000000 -0500

fi
-do_all apache
+#do_all apache
-db_stop
+#db_stop
# this is some sort of hack since we only have dh_installinit down there
Then I re-ran dpkg --configure --pending and it appears that Apache is
running normally now.
