i had a look at the postinst scripts for both dwww and info2www yesterday
after i had the same problem.

The bug is actually a typo.  In the apache section of your .postinst
scripts you had "foundhttp=yes" instead of "foundhttpd=yes".  I.E. you
missed the final "d".

I edited the postinst scripts with vi and they work fine now.


BTW, I'm using them with apache 1.1.1 with no problems.
