12.04 -> 14.04 upgrade fails in apache2

Running `dpkg --configure -a` fails with the same error.

Workaround: `a2dismod proxy_http; dpkg --configure -a; a2enmod proxy_http`.

I ran into this issue. And it looks my fault for not using a2enmod.

ls -l /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.load
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Nov 11 2014 proxy.load -> /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy.load

This breaks apache2.postinst:

  target=$(readlink "$link") || true
  ...
  if [ ! -e "/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/$target" ] ; then

Replacing the symlink targets with relative paths also works around the issue.

Heh, took me a while to discover _which_ of my servers failed an upgrade on that date (ideja).

etckeeper confirms that /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.{load,conf} were symlinks to absolute paths prior to the failed upgrade. Curiously, proxy_http.load was a symlink to a relative path.

Hi James, Marius,

Thank you for your report.

This looks like a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu. Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs in Ubuntu, rather than configuration problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. This helps us to focus on fixing bugs in Ubuntu.

If you disagree, please explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

Thanks!
