apache-ssl certificate generation problem/question

[Glen Mabey <glen@mabeys.dsl.aros.net>]

Hello,

My certificate expired, so I tried to regenerate it.

I ended up deleting /etc/apache-ssl/apache.pem , then 'dpkg-reconfigure
apache-ssl'.

Doing this first gives the error 
	Document `apache-ssl' is not installed, cannot remove.
but then continues on and asks all of the questions.

What I found is that if I left the field 'Organisational Unit Name'
blank, then the generation process failed later on.

Once I did fill in everything correctly (I think) apache.pem was
successfully generated but one of these commands (as reported by 'ps
aux') did hang, I presume the last one:

	/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure apache-ssl
	/bin/bash /var/lib/dpkg/info/apache-ssl.postinst configure 1.3.29.0.2-4
	/bin/bash /usr/sbin/modules-config apache-ssl internal

Perhaps this is related to #258951?

What would be the "correct" way for one to go about regenerating a
certificate?

Thanks,
Glen
