Description Malcolm Scott 2003-01-21 18:23:11 UTC
Merging apache-2.0.43-r1 didn't install any modules (mod_*.so). They should have
been in /usr/lib/apache2 (as they were in apache-2.0.43) but they weren't
installed at all.

...And there is no earlier version of apache2 in the Portage tree, so I can't
step back a version to fix my b0rked webserver :-(

Aha, problem solved. It was the fact that /usr/lib/apache2 was a symlink to
/usr/local/apache2 (from an old manual installation) and although Portage
claimed it was installing files, it refused to install anything into
/usr/lib/apache2 (subdirectories were fine, strangely).

This looks like a portage bug, and as such I've filed bug 14331.
