Recently reinstalled my computer with Ubuntu 14.04.
This pc is to be used to develop ASP.NET mono applications.
So I installed the latest 3.12.0 version of Mono.
Also installed Apache2 (2.4.7 is the latest).
Last thing is to install Mod_Mono. This is where it fails.
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-mono

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libapache2-mod-mono : Depends: apache2.2-common but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So I tried to install apache2.2-common but that does not exist, there is only a apache2.2-bin. I installed that and it still did not solve my problem.
sudo apt-get install apache2.2-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package apache2.2-common is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
apache2-bin:i386 apache2:i386 apache2-data apache2-bin apache2
E: Package 'apache2.2-common' has no installation candidate
Any suggestions to what I can do so I can host my Mono application through apache2?
Solved this issue by installing Apache 2.2.22.
Had a bit of trouble doing that, but finally installed it running this command.
sudo apt-get install apache2=2.2.22-1ubuntu1.7 apache2.2-common=2.2.22-1ubuntu1.7 apache2.2-bin=2.2.22-1ubuntu1.7 apache2-mpm-worker=2.2.22-1ubuntu1.7
Note: you need to add the precise repository to your software sources, else you won't have the package available to install.
