Script fails trying to install ancient "apache2.2-bin" package (apache2-bin is new name)

[afcady]

The package, apache2.2-bin, is not avaliable in Debian stable (buster) or Debian oldstable (stretch). It is only available in oldoldstable (jessie) or in older unsupported historical archives.

Even in jessie, the package does not do anything. It just has a dependency on apache2-bin. It's a transitional package for upgrading to jessie from even older versions. Unfortunately, it pins the version, so that it wants to install the ancient apache2-bin from jessie, which conflicts with installing an up-to-date apache.

The dependency should simply be changed to apache2-bin. Nothing will break unless someone tries to build it on a Debian-based system even older than jessie.

This is from the log of the build. I included a lot of context; the error is at the bottom.
