Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Got same thing in saucy now.

Hmm... apache is out of sync with python again?!

[martin suc (martin-suc)]

again in utopic ubuntu 14.10

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Closing as expired, this appears to be an incompatibility between apache2.2 and python2, but Ubuntu's focus for maintenance is on 2.4 and 3.x now.
