[maemo-users] Help : Big pb with apache on Maemo Diablo

[From: COURTAUD Didier]

Another test

- kill all the httpd processes

- try to uninstall by dpkg -r httpd

  Same errors on

    invoke-rc.d: not a symlink: "/etc/rc2.d/S20httpd"
     invoke-rc.d: dangling symlink: "/etc/rc2.d/S20httpd"

I definitevely cannot uninstall hhtpd ( anyone on this list has an idea ? )
but it works and that is why I downloaded it !
