This happens because of your patch. What is the use of -S anyway? :) Could you please check this out?

-S sets the value of an apache configuration variable used by apxs. It may have been added after 1.3.6, which would explain why it craps out in this case. If 1.3.6 is important, we may have to back out that part of the patch, but then installing into a package root won't work any more. I forgot to Cc: this to the mailing list. Anyway, IMO we shouldn't bother supporting that old versions of Apache. It's already in version 1.3.20 and there have been a lot security patches since 1.3.6, IIRC. So there should be more reasons to update than not to. But I'd like to hear other opinions too before doing anything about this.

I think lots of people don't upgrade their web servers for ages as they don't really notice it. They are more likely to upgrade PHP. What does "installing a package root" mean? Andi
