I recently did a dist upgrade of my system to Wheezy. I have had a
number of seriuos issues with this upgrade but the one that has me
stumped is Apache2. I finally ended up removing it and all of the mods &
associated apps. Yep it pretty well screwed the entire system. I now
have rescued the installation except for Apache2. I have seen that it
installed into a new directory as I removed every vestige of the old
installation. I saved the config files in a archive of the old setup
just in case. What I see is that the new install does NOT put ANY
configs into the /etc/apache2 directory and the installation doesent
seem to know that it has failed. Apache does not work and though I've
tried to manually install the old configs, it still doesnt work. Does
anyone know of any line command dpkg. or apt that will cause a
completely new installation to overwrite the current installation, and
maybe fix this?

I am sorry to hear that you had such problems. The biggest problems I

have had with upgrades have been when lint from older releases were
not cleaned up before attempting to upgrade.

apache2.2-common package. You can verify this by using dpkg to list
the files.
dpkg -L apache2.2-common
dpkg -L apache2.2-common | grep /etc/apache2/
Double check that you are installing bits from Wheezy 7 on your system
and not from Unstable. In Unstable there is a large Apache transition
happening and things are not in a completely happy state there yet.
But that is a known and coordinated transition in Unstable. Wheezy 7
is Stable and should be working just fine.

tested this again just now to verify. For any more complicated site
there will be other choices such as for PHP and for a database and so
forth. But at the simple end of things simply installing 'apache2' is
sufficient. If you have a small memory machine then apache needs to
have the config tweaked or it won't have enough memory.
Please show the output of:
apt-cache policy apache2 apache2.2-common
Wheezy 7 should show version 2.2.22-13 at this moment. I suspect that
you will show something different there.
Also if you are installing any related packages such as selecting a
model such as apache2-mpm-prefork or apache2-mpm-worker or whatever
please fill in the missing details so that we can recreate your
example in a test case.

Well I ended up using the nuclear alternative. I removed every vestige,
and I mean I grepped the entire system for anything with apache in it. I
removed all of them and stripped out anything that required apache along
with all the configs. I reinstalled everything and all works fine for
now. Thanks for the tips all.

I upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy.
Now I can no longer choose the Deck Ancient Dark Egyptian.
It was my favorite.

I upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy.
Now the tabs in Roxterm are all colored the same.
It used to have the open Tab in a different shade of gray.
How come?
