The problem stems from the change from a 'y|n' query to dialog-based query.  
The
fix is to do 'cast -r -c apache2' (or apache, or httpd-dev, whatever you use
for your webserver).  I believe this should be fixed in the spell, though. 
Perhaps have it check for some old command in ${SPELL_CONFIG} which isn't 
there
now (if there are any), and if that exists, remove the file and re-prompt for
the answers.  Or better yet, convert the old ${SPELL_CONFIG} to the new format
for the user and continue on.  ;)
