retitle 261558 Apache2 doesn't start when environment variables contain newlines
thanks

Severity: grave is probably not justified, given that this is rather a
corner case.

Anyway, env's output cannot be reliably parsed, given that the values of
environment variables may contain newlines and other nastiness. The
simplest way to get a clean environment (for a subprocess) would be "env
-i".

Subject: Apache2 doesn't start

Package: apache2
Version: 2.0.50-5
Severity: grave

Apache2 doesn't start:

atlas:/var/lib/dpkg# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
/etc/init.d/apache2: line 8: unset: `:DO': not a valid identifier

atlas:/etc/apache2/sites-available# uname -a

Extracting the line from the start-script and running it on a root-console

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

Do you intend to sync this from Debian soon?

[Thom May (thombot)]

The next upload to unstable is going to fix another bug which is RC for us also
(#444) so I was going to just request for that to be synced.

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

Fixed via sync of 2.0.50-7
