Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

This is the error that was reported:
apache2 (2.4.29-1ubuntu4.2) wird eingerichtet ...
info: Executing deferred 'a2enconf apache2-doc' for package apache2-doc
ERROR: Conf apache2-doc does not exist!
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Paketes apache2 (--configure):
 Unterprozess installed apache2 package post-installation script gab den Fehler-Ausgangsstatus 1 zurück

It looks like the apache2-doc package is not fully installed. The package seems to be in the database of installed packages, but one or more of its files in /etc are gone.

I suggest the following:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2-doc

If that doesn't fix it, try:

sudo apt install --reinstall apache2-doc

Or, if you don't want it, just purge it:

sudo apt purge apache2-doc

In any case, it's also good to run this at the end to attempt to fix any remaining issues:

sudo apt -f install
