For some reason, javascript-common fails to upgrade, and it also fails
to be reinstalled, which prevents from upgrading dependents.

I tried to follow what's inside #718318 but I have no javascript-common
file in /etc/apache2. I don't have lighthttpd, so I removed
/etc/lighttpd (which contained files from javascript-common, see
#912002) and tried to install again:
```
# dpkg -i javascript-common_12_all.deb
(Reading database ... 482559 files and directories currently installed.)

javascript-alias was disabled in lighttpd.
Hint: Use "lighttpd-enable-mod javascript-alias" to re-enable.

As you can see, there's no error message indicating why it fails.
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,

Looks to be a false positive.
