dpkg error
Hi all,
I'm seeing the following error in I try and run dpkg manually - any suggestions?
dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of apache2:

No it shouldn't, but backups are always good practice...
Reply 1Will re-installing apache
Reply 2Will re-installing apache lose any website settings / data?
Looks like a version mismatch.
Reply 3It looks like you have some Apache packages which are v2.4.38-3+deb10u4 and some that are v2.4.38-3+deb10u5 (the latter are one update ahead).
I'd recommend updating the package list and reinstalling Apache2, like this:
apt update apt install --reinstall -y apache2
Hopefully that should fix it. If not, please give the output.
No it shouldn't, but you have a backup regime in place already right? If so, it's a perfect time to test your backups! :)
