I'm just setting up a new server with Apache2 and notice that
there's no "apachectl" included.  Is another package required to get
apachectl?

I've done an
  #apt-cache search apachectl
and haven't been able to find anything.

hI,

You can use /etc/init.d/apache2

I think you are looking for apache2ctl, as apachectl would be part of the 
apache1 branch. it should be in the apache2.2-common package

Now I can't believe I asked the question!  Thank you for the
reminder that I'm in Apache2 now.  ;-)

I am not sure which package removal caused this.
I was doing sth cleaning the packages that is not what I want, like
Openoffice, which will remove some kind of gnome tools as I saw during the
removal.

There is nothing output for this command, I guess the package has been
uninstalled.
I am to install the packages that has been marked as deinstall, to see what
will happen

Thank you guys!
really appreciated!

I just reinstalled the gnome tools I had uninstalled, and also check the
console kbd package, the problem still exists: error message during startup,
can not start X automatically.

If its about the keymap, which package should I have?
I checked in the installed package, there are console-data console-tools and
the kbd I just installed.

Thanks for your help!

<br>I checked in the installed package, there are console-data console-tools and the kbd I just installed.<br><br>Thanks for your help!<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/7/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Florian Kulzer
