apacheconfig not adding loadmodule lines



apache-common and apache are not installing as expected on a basically
new woody install. the show stopper is no LoadModule lines in http.conf
(not even commented out ones) after running apacheconfig. This line from
apacheconfig concerns me 'Finding DSO mods.found.'

I've run 'apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade' have purged (verified) and
reinstalled apache-common and apache.

dpkg --force-all --purge apache-common apache
apt-get --reinstall install apache-common apache

There is a possibility some packages from testing or unstable were
installed on the box, but I don't think so. In any event is there some
way to force a rollback to stable?

starting apache fails when it reaches 'ExtendedStatus On' because the
status_module was never loaded. I checked and the modules do seem in
place. Tried some other install techniques too...

# ls /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_status.so
/usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_status.so

# cd /
# dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile /var/cache/apt/archives/apache_1.3.26-0woody3_i386.deb | tar x
# dpkg --configure --pending
# apachectl start

Your config files will not be modified until you select Y at "save changes."

Enter the email address of your server administrator.  This address 
will be used in error messages allowing users to submit reports of
faulty links or misconfigured cgi-programs to you. It should be an email
address that corresponds to a human.

Who should the ServerAdmin be? [nobody@localhost] 
Finding DSO mods.found.


Pondering....................................... done.

Save these changes to the configuration files? [Y/n] 

Rotated `/etc/apache/httpd.conf' at Mon Dec 23 13:57:25 EST 2002.
Restart Apache now? [Y/n] 
Syntax error on line 215 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf:

What could be the problem here?
