It was a bug in the 4.2 filesets, expat was moved from the package
system to xbase42.tgz, which fewer people install than base42.tgz .

No. Just leave it.

If you install the package of Apache 2.2, it won't owerwrite the base
Apache. You'll have two Apache installs in two different locations,
both of which work and run independently of each other. You may need to
double check PATH settings, I'm not sure, but otherwise it should just
work if you only run the one you want to run. It's not like the base
Apache starts automatically, or anything.

I don't have an answer for this one. :-)
