libapache2-mod-ifier: API module structure "is garbled"

[Lee Maguire]

Binary package hint: libapache2-mod-ifier

Version: 0.8-2

Installing the module and force-reloading apache results in:

apache2: Syntax error on line 185 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mod_ifier.load: API module structure `mod_ifier_module' in file /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_ifier.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?

Got the same here on Ubuntu 64bits Gutsy :

# aptitude install libapache2-mod-ifier went fine

then when I restart Apache :

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
 * Restarting web server apache2
apache2: Syntax error on line 183 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mod_ifier.load: API module structure `mod_ifier_module' in file /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_ifier.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?

 Is there a way to fix it ?

Got the same problem on Feitsy.
Seems the binary package is broken.
I just downloaded the sources, recompiled the package and reinstalled to fix the issue.

# apt-get source libapache2-mod-ifier
# cd libapache2-mod-ifier....
# dpkg-buildpackage -bb
