Herre's an odd problem. I did a network install of Woody on 2 different machines -- on one of them Apache was installed such that apache and apache-ssl are run out of the same directory (/etc/apache) and and started by the same rc file (/etc/init.d/acache) while on the other apache and apache-ssl are run out of two directories (/etc/apache and /etc/apache-ssl) and have two different startup rc files.

Of course, when trying to install software that expects a sane (single directory) installation
(lke debian-sourceforge) apt-get fails and leave everything a mess...

does anyone know what the magic incantation is to get SSL supper with the regular apache .deb file (i.e., apache not "apache-ssl")
-- just adding mod-ssl-apache doesn't seem to do the trick...

Adding mod-ssl-apache would work but it requires you to do ALL of the ssl configuration. There are some examples in the docs that are installed with this module. Apache-ssl comes already configured (mostly) and requires little to get a certificate generated as you just put your purchaced cert in place of the auto-generated one. By default, both apaches' use the same document root so if sourceforge installs an "include" line in /etc/apache/httpd.conf, you can just put that same include in /etc/apache-ssl/httpd.conf manualy and things should work ok? I make this assumption because this is what phpmyadmin,pgmyadmin and others do this...

I hope this helps,
Loren
