"error module dav_svn does not exist"

Question

I accidentally deleted the mod_svn on my webserver, and now I am stuck. Everything I try to do anything with it (remove it or reinstall it with apt-get), I get that message and apt fails. I know I could reinstall Apache, but I am trying to avoid that at all costs (unless I can do it in such a way that would keep my config files).

Any ideas on how to deal with this?

can you give the full output from apt ? – Geraint Jones May 31 '10 at 04:53 — Geraint Jones, May 31 '10 at 04:53

Well, I fixed it. I had to mirror the configuration on a VM, then copy the missing files over. After that, apt let me remove the package and reinstall it correctly.
