Thanks Steve,

Turns out that didn't work as the retimeout.so wasn't installed in the 
firstplace, it did lead me to another launchpad bug (in dpkg allegedly) 
which would explain it.

The solution on offer seems a bit heavy handed though...

sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq apache2.2-common

followed by a reinstall of apache.


Am I right in thinking that the above command would delete all my hard 
crafted apache config files? NAturally I can just back these up but if 
the problem is caused by something in the config files wouldn't it just 
reappear when I restored them? Not sure how to proceed, think I'll call 
it a night and sleep on it!

Cheers,

Roger.
