Package: apache
Version: 1.3.33-2
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

Hi, I'm sorry to be filing this as I'm finding it hard to believe that
this could be a problem for anyone but me. However a fresh apt-get
source of apache, with the build-depends installed and no customisation
at all fails. Nobody in #debian had experienced this when I asked and
there's no match for 'apache FTBFS' on -devel or -user archives for the
last couple of months.

SUMMARY

$ apt-get source apache
# apt-get build-dep apache
$ cd apache-1.3.33
apache-1.3.33$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
....
./configure: line 1: 31mrule: command not found
 + using installation path layout: Debian (config.layout)
 configure:Error: No such rule named 'SHARED_CHAIN'
 make: *** [debian/stampdir/configure-stamp-apache] Error 1

DETAILED

Full output of dpkg-buildpackage is attached. I note that the first line
of every file named 'configure' in the source dir is a standard
hash-bang.
