Hi,

no, it is the Apache2, but self-built, not as a debian package:

root at z11:~# dpkg --get-selections | grep apache
root at z11:~# dpkg --get-selections | grep httpd
root at z11:~# ls -al /etc/rc?.d/*apache
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 26. Apr 16:18 /etc/rc3.d/K91apache ->
/data/sys/apache/bin/apachectl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 26. Apr 16:18 /etc/rc3.d/S91apache ->
/data/sys/apache/bin/apachectl
root at z11:~# rm /etc/rc3.d/K91apache /etc/rc3.d/S91apache
root at z11:~# apt-get remove --purge exim4-base
... ran through without any problems ...
root at z11:~# apt-get install exim4-base exim4-daemon-light bsd-mailx
... ran through without any problems ...


Sorry, the apachectl script was the fault. It is the original apachectl
script from the sources. But it is the first time, that a debian package
criticizes a non-debian init script.
