Re: [Question #237395]: Precise (12.04) apache2-prefork-dev dependency problem on Launchpad

 

Question #237395 on apache2 in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+question/237395

OpenCPU gave more information on the question:
I realize what the problem is now. Precise also has a package called
apache2-dev, but this is something different from the identically named
package that was introduced in Saucy:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=apache2-dev.

This is where Launchpad goes wrong. It is installing apache2-dev instead
of apache2-prefork-dev, but doesn't seem to be smart enough to see that
the version of apache2-dev in Precise does not meet the requirements. It
then fails the build (instead of trying the proper alternative of
apache2-prefork-dev)
