[Ubuntu] MapServer 6.4 on Ubuntu 12.04

[Worth Lutz]

I believe that the latest update to the mapserver package is broken.

Apache 2.4 was originally added to the ppa and broke my system. It was
removed from the ppa but I think that the mapserver package requires apache
2.4 which has a later version of php5.

I'm not sure what is needed to run the new version of mapserver but all
these version changes have messed things up on my system as well.

I don't know much about packaging but do really appreciate the people who do
and can keep all this straight. I'm sure this will be straightened out soon.

I just did an update of mapserver and updated php5-mapscript and it's 
tossing an error. If I may say these lists are quite amazing - on the 
geomoose list they were just talking about the upgrade. I've been 
following their lead and install php5-mapscript and thats when it tossed 
an error:

Setting up php5-mapscript (6.4.1-3~precise1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/php5-mapscript.postinst: 11: 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/php5-mapscript.postinst: php5enmod: not found
dpkg: error processing php5-mapscript (--configure):
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit 
status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
  php5-mapscript
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I guess the big question is this something on my end or a problem with 
mapserver? I'm on a VM of 12.04 LTS

BTW - thanks for the upgrade to 6.4.1 - I was in the middle of compiling 
and was going slightly cross eyed.
