Bug#486629: apache2 refusing to restart

[Paul <pwb@pwb.hopto.org>]

package: apache2
version: 2.2.9-1
Severity: Critical



Why does apache2 refuse to restart or reload the configuration and if you 
attempt it then the whole system needs to be rebooted.  Any package that 
dies bad enough to require a reboot has something badly broken in it.
