AFAICT, the postinst script most likely fails in the automatically added snippet: > # Automatically added by dh_apache2/UNDECLARED > if true; then > if [ -e /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper ] ; then > . /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper > for conf in javascript-common ; do > apache2_invoke enconf $conf || exit 1 > done > fi > fi > # End automatically added section Looking at the apache2-maintscript-helper, could you please run the following commands and share the output? > a2query -c javascript-common > echo $? Please also check your system logs/journal from the time around you attempted the upgrade, there might be more messages there. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue. For me, the javascript-common installs and re-installs without issue. Thus, I wonder if this should be considered release-critical or lowered in priority. Best Regards, Fiona
