The following line appears to have a typo:

a2query -m "$mpm_$MPM" > /dev/null 2>&1 || a2query_ret=$?

It should read:

a2query -m "mpm_$MPM" > /dev/null 2>&1 || a2query_ret=$?

Since $mpm is not defined. Later on there are references to enabling and disabling "mpm_$MPM".

This appears to trip up the Puppet apache module since it creates a prefork module (rather than mpm_prefork), which results in the above query returning a positive response. This is what's happening in bug #1771934.

Fix is obvious and trivial so can hopefully be implemented soon. Appears only to affect bionic since xenial had different code.
