package libapache2-mod-mono 1.2.5-2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This was reported while upgrading from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04. The mono package was just recently installed, and I had not got it working yet.

I know it's been a long time, but the fix for this upgrade error has just been committed to pkg-mono SVN. The problem occurs when the file /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod_mono.conf has been deleted for some reason - the postinst script assumes the file is there, as there's no good reason for it not to be.

Try shoving the following into the file:
AddType application/x-asp-net .aspx .ashx .asmx .ascx .asax .config .ascx
DirectoryIndex index.aspx
Include /etc/mono-server2/mono-server2-hosts.conf

As long as the file exists in general though, the error should not happen
