Apache :: mod_perl :: broken!
G'day,
Just did a usual update and now mod_perl breaks apache with a seg fault.
In /etc/apache/httpd.conf
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so
Commenting out the above line and apache works fine.
I've got installed:
/usr/bin/dpkg -l '*mod-perl*' | grep ^ii
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

Which is what lead me to look at mod_perl as the culprit ...
I'll be rebooting the box Monday morning, as I'm connected to the
net via South Africa's telskum provider for the weekend @ 7 Rand
if there's no interruption. Hopefully a reboot will fix it, probably
not though as this ain't no wincrap box, but you never know.
Any how this stuff really should not happen in testing, or should it?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Sabio
