on my Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid) system I can't (re)install
libapache2-mod-php5 debian package.

It remain half configured after an upgrade process.

In Aptitude interface when I try to reinstall it, I get error
message: E: Internal Error, No file name for
libapache2-mod-php5:amd64

What can I do to solve this problem?



Difficult to say. The current version is 5.5.0~rc2+dfsg-2 and my
previous version upgraded today OK, also sid on amd64. There are new
versions of both apache2 and php5.

What you have sounds like a confused aptitude rather than an apache2
issue. You might first try an update, then a reboot and update, and
if this hasn't cleared the problem, try one of the other tools,
either Synaptic or apt-get dist-upgrade. Synaptic does a
dist-upgrade by default.


Well, I don't remember what I did, probably try in aptitude interface
to remove packages, and it's dependencies, but now I have only one
package that I can't remove: ldap-account-manager.

When I try to purge it in Synaptic, I get the following message:

E: ldap-account-manager: subprocess installed post-removal script
returned error exit status 1

Removing ldap-account-manager ...
[ ok ] Reloading web server: apache2.
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "reload" failed.

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

So on my Desktop system, I can't run apache2, and can't remove
ldap-account-manager.

What I want it the following: to get again a running apache2, php5,
and ldap-account-manager.

The ldap-account-manager is now Half installed, and can't to do with
it anything.

Advices?


I looked at this thread:
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=110314

And while it's not debian the suggestion was to use the following
command:
sudo dpkg --clear-avail&&  sudo apt-get update

That seemed to fix it.
from dpkg man pages:
        --clear-avail
               Erase the existing information about what  packages  are
available.


OK, when I run this command
sudo dpkg --clear-avail&&  sudo apt-get update

and right after that I run
sudo apt-get install ldap-account-manager

I get the following output with error.

csanyipal@debian-asztal:~$ sudo apt-get install ldap-account-manager

Hi,

Here's one solution:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/troubleshooting-debian-ubuntu-package-upgrades-removals.html
One option would be to try dpkg -r <packagename> before you try the above workaround. 

Hope that helps,
