process_archive error on package apache_1.1.3-6.deb

[m* <mark@novare.net>]

sirs, i have run into an error(?) with the "stable" apache_1.1.3-6.deb
package.

when i try to install this package with the --no-act flag, no errors are
reported however
this seems to be useful only to report dependency problems.

so i try an install with the -D20 debug flag  and get :

ns1:/tmp# dpkg -i -D20 apache_1.1.3-6.deb
(Reading database ... 17396 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking apache (from apache_1.1.3-6.deb) ...
D000020: process_archive conffile `/etc/cron.daily/apache' no package,
no hash
D000020: process_archive conffile `/etc/init.d/apache' no package, no
hash
dpkg: error processing apache_1.1.3-6.deb (--install):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 apache_1.1.3-6.deb

is this a problem with my existing installs on my systems ( i have a
feeling this could be part of the issue
considering this apache package installed successfully on some of my
systems and others it
won't) or is it a problem with the package itself? i emailed the listed
package maintainer
regarding this error and was advised he does not maintain the package
any longer.

if this is a package error, i'll take this up with the maintainer
providing i know who it is. if it is not
a package problem i would appreciate a some insight as to what i may be
doing wrong.

a private reply is preferred.

thanks,

mark@novare.net / mark@master.debian.org
