The old version string is still mentioned in four files (in comments): * vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf * vhosts.d/default_vhost.include * modules.d/40_mod_ssl.conf * httpd.conf Easy fix: change them all to 2.4.
Thank you for the report. http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/apache.git;a=commitdiff;h=b6e5106a38c231b44dc1cb191cecaf5b0ba84a3d This will be in the next gentoo-apache tarball rollout. Please keep this bug open until a fixed apache is in portage.
Fixed in apache-2.4.10-r1
