Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

I can reproduce this error in Percise. What's happening is that apache is being restarted a second time to soon. I've included the postinst script output below.

To test the theory I ran 'invoke-rc.d apache2 restart;invoke-rc.d apache2 restart' - the second restart failed. If I add a sleep 'invoke-rc.d apache2 restart; sleep 1; invoke-rc.d apache2 restart' then the second restart succeeds.

The postinst script could be changed so that it would only ever call restart once.

Looks like there is already a bug files against apache https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1018171
