Hi List,

The other day my LAN server had an upgrade to PHP, from 5.4.17 to 5.5. Next 
time apache restarted, it couldn't because it was looking for 
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp.5.so. The library seemed to be in place, but 
in fact it was a broken symlink to /usr/lib/php5.4/apache2/libphp.5.so.

Running revdep-rebuild failed to find the problem (though it did find a problem 
with cairo, so I didn't mind the time spent). I had to remerge PHP myself to 
fix it.

Just a little cautionary tale.

PS.     Apache reported the problem as a syntax error in its config files, but 
there was nothing wrong with the syntax - the problem was a missing file. Not 
expected behaviour.
