Maybe I'm missing something, but that error message is about files being
left behind.

While that part and your questions have to do with apache being or not
being reloaded, which doesn't seem to have anything to do with the
previous problem.

To the best of my knowledge piuparts doesn't actually start any daemons
at all, so a restart / reload of a daemon will naturally fail in piuparts.
