Bug#615866: apache2.2-common: Missing "{" in line in /etc/init.d/apache2

[Matt Hoskins <matt@nipltd.com>]

Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.16-6
Severity: normal


Near the top of /etc/init.d/apache2 is a line which reads as follows:
        if [ "${APACHE_CONFDIR##/etc/apache2-}" != "$APACHE_CONFDIR}" ] ; then

I noticed the unbalanced braces in the line and thought it likely to be a mistake
with the mistake meaning they will never match.

Looking at /etc/apache2/envvars and there is a similar line which has balanced
braces:
if [ "${APACHE_CONFDIR##/etc/apache2-}" != "${APACHE_CONFDIR}" ] ; then

The error means, I think, that if APACHE_CONFDIR is set before the script is called and
its value doesn't use a suffix form (e.g. is not like /etc/apache2-something) then
DIR_SUFFIX will get set to APACHE_CONFDIR instead of being set to nothing.
