I just ran into this issue on one server where apache2 started to mysteriously die weekly in late February. I could not properly isolate the problem, but noticed the following things that might be helpful.
When the server was running apache2 version 2.2.3-3.1, the problematic command in the logrotate script produced the following output: $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart > /dev/null (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs And apache2 was no longer running. But using invoke-rc.d as in $ sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart lead to fully successful restart. After upgrading apache2 to 2.2.3-3.3 (which pulled in some related updates, like mediawiki1.7 1.7.1-3 -> 1.7.1-9) both $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart > /dev/null and $ sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart seem to be restarting apache2 cleanly. The server in question is unfortunately running a mixture of packages from Sarge, Etch and versions between them, so this may have something to do with the problem as well.
