Solution

  • Try to reinstall apache2 package:

    apt-get remove apache2 --purge
    apt-get install apache2
    

    The other option is to move dpkg info files to some temp location:

    sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/apache2* /some/location/path
    

    and then

    sudo apt-get install apache2 --reinstall
