Question is, why do you have a build-depend on apache2 at all? The apache2-dev package should be sufficient, without needing to install a running copy of the server. Ray's followup seems to confirm this. If it doesn't build without the apache2 non-dev package, it's an apache2 bug for making people install a live webserver to build modules. Otherwise, it's a bug in libapache2-mod-python. Although debootstrap has a 'fake' s-s-d implementation, the buildds don't use it, and I'm given to understand that there's no plan to make them start using it. (Ran into this when someone decided *on the buildd side* that php4 should similarly build-depend on apache... feh...) Cheers, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
