What does `ls -l /etc/init.d` show? Apparently, /etc/init.d/apache is a
directory for some reason, and not a start/stop script, and that's why
the postrm is failing. Did you have apache installed, but removed it,
or do some modifications to the init script?
At least according to
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=apache&searchmode=filelist&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386
it should be a standard init script. Hmmm.
Redirected back on list, by the way. Let's keep the email there, so
other people who have this problem can find it. If you're not
subscribed, I'll be happy to CC: you.
